Mike Mikunda from MBE said: “We are very pleased that the Leeds Expo has been fully supported by the lending and finance industry. All the stands have now been sold which is a terrific achievement for our first show at this venue. It also demonstrates there is a keen and well informed market in Yorkshire and lenders and retirement planners are keen to speak to the regions brokers and IFAs.

“Registration is free at the website and we have seen a very positive response from professionals signing up to attend, so it will be a very popular Expo.”
