Society of Mortgage Professionals extend events agenda
10 March 2015
The Society of Mortgage Professionals have extended their schedule of specialist mortgage & protection roadshows by adding two extra dates for 2015.
Beginning in Manchester on 10 March, there will now be two rounds of five events in both Q1 and Q3 of this year.
“As we head towards the end of our first year since the introduction of MMR it is an ideal opportunity for advisers to take stock and consider the key opportunities for 2015 and beyond,” commented head of operations & membership, Gary Little.
Speakers at the events include Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at John Charcol; Robert Barnard, head of business development at Aldermore Bank and Simon Chalk from the Equity Release Council. In addition there will also be specialist presenters from Zurich and SimplyBiz
Lynda Blackwell from the FCA will also be guesting at the London event, fronting a bespoke ‘MMR - its aim and overall impact’ presentation.
Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow complete the five-strong programme:
10 March - Manchester
11 March - Birmingham
12 March - Bristol
24 March - Glasgow
26 March - London
“The events will cover topics such as income protection, buy to let and equity release and are designed to show financial advisers what’s coming down the track from a compliance and regulatory perspective,” concluded Gary, “as well as highlighting the potential of prospective new markets and reminding them of the value of other areas where they may not have been active in recently.”
Each one also provides valuable CPD (3h 20m).
