Financial Services Expo (FSE) Manchester has revealed some of the intermediary lenders that will be exhibiting at this year’s event.

Mainstream lenders which already committed to exhibit at FSE Manchester include Santander for Intermediaries, Nationwide for Intermediaries/The Mortgage Works, Virgin Money, Accord Mortgages, Coventry for Intermediaries and Platform.

Specialist players such as Precise Mortgages, Shawbrook Bank, Aldermore Bank, Kensington Mortgages, Blemain, Castle Trust, Keystone, and Masthaven will also have stands at the exhibition.

Distributors including specialist operators, Brightstar Financial, and firms such as Paradigm Mortgage Services will also be exhibiting.

FSE Manchester will be held once again at The Emirates – Old Trafford in Manchester on 20 May and will provide visitors with access to over 40 exhibitors including lenders, distributors, networks, insurance providers, technology companies, and many more.

The full seminar programme will be announced shortly.

Shawbrook Bank will also be running its Academy at FSE Manchester, hosting a number of specialist lending seminars from a variety of industry spokespeople.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will be exhibiting in order to support advisers and answer any questions they might have regarding regulatory matters.

Car parking at the venue is free and all attendees will receive free lunch.

James Prosser, director of Front Events, organisers of FSE Manchester, said: “Part of the reason why advisers attend exhibitions like ours is to see and engage with some of the largest lenders in the country. We have all seen the increase in volume of business being placed by the intermediary sector and it’s clearly become the major distribution powerhouse in the mortgage marketplace. This is why it is vitally important to us to offer the widest range of lenders exhibiting at FSE Manchester and we are very pleased to be able to announce both huge mainstream operators and a selection of quality specialist players who will all be at the event on May 20th.

“Not only can we put advisers in front of these lenders but we can also offer them a wide variety of other exhibitors covering many different areas and sectors. Add to this the quality seminar programme and the addition of the Shawbrook Bank Academy and we believe this is the must-attend event for advisers in the North of England this year.

“In terms of lender exhibitors, seminar information and all-round delegate value, it knocks other events for six. Therefore, we would urge any adviser wanting to get the most from an exhibition to register to attend FSE Manchester – you won’t be disappointed.”
