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. The Expo is gearing up to be another terrific event.

“With a strong finance community in Yorkshire going 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.”
