The Mortgage Business Expo Manchester will now take place on Friday 20 May as opposed to Wednesday 18 May.

It says the change has been forced on them because Manchester United Football Club is staging its Player of the Year Awards on the Wednesday. The Expo is due to take place at the Old Trafford football ground – the self-styled ‘theatre of dreams’.

The Expo organisers said that all registered visitors and exhibitors will receive a free lunch at the event in the Manchester Suite.
