Registration for Mortgage Business Expo (MBE) Leeds is now open for brokers, IFAs and financial intermediaries.

The event will take place on 25 April at the Royal Armouries (pictured).

CPD accredited seminars will also feature keynote speeches by William Holman of the Bank of England, Roger Evans of Aldermore and Charles Haresnape of Gatehouse Bank.

The Expo will also feature two panel debates: a specialist lending discussion and a fintech panel on open banking and GDPR.

Aldermore will be the official MBE Knowledge Partner and Bath Building Society the official sponsor. Other companies such as Together Money, Masthaven, Clever Lending, 360 Dotnet, Vida Homeloans and Pepper Money will exhibit at the event.

Mike Mikunda from MBE said: “We are delighted to be returning to Leeds for another Expo in Yorkshire as there are so many bridging and commercial lenders servicing the region and supplying much-needed property and development funding to the thriving broker and IFA market. We are delighted to have high profile speakers from the Bank of England and the newly-formed FIBA providing market insights. The Expo is gearing up to be another terrific event.

“With a strong finance community in Yorkshire, it will be beneficial for brokers, IFAs and introducers to talk directly with specialist lenders and service providers about their latest products. It’s going to be a very well attended Expo and I would encourage those in the region involved in finance to register for free now.”
