Clarion Events has devised a programme of enhanced safety measures at the Mortgage Business Expo (MBE) in order to reduce the risk caused by Covid-19.

MBE will take place this year on 20 October at the Business Design Centre in London.

The downloadable ‘All Secure Standard’ document outlines the extensive measures that are being put into place at MBE London in order to deliver an event prioritising the health and safety of exhibitors, sponsors and attendees.

MBE is working closely with its registration company to put into place social distancing registration, with self-scan badging, timed attendance sessions and scanning in and out to minimise queuing and contact on arrival and departure.

This will work alongside the Business Design Centre’s track and trace, temperature checks for each attendee, and staggered visitor admission times to ensure evenly spread attendances.

Rob Elder of the Bank of England will once again give the keynote presentation at MBE London. CPD accredited seminars will also feature presentations by industry figures together with panel debates.

Registration for MBE is now open, and visitors will have the opportunity to directly discuss the finance and planning needs for their clients with major financial brands such as building societies, specialist lenders and retirement planning providers.

Mike Mikunda from MBE said: “Together with the Business Design Centre, we will be putting into place a programme of safety measures in order that we can deliver an event that has the health and safety of our exhibitors, sponsors and visitors as its number one priority.

“MBE is the only financial expo committed to a date in 2020 and is perfectly positioned and timed to bring together leading lenders with the mortgage intermediary market. Our all new MBE TV will give you an idea of exactly what is in store.”
