We have had a terrific response from providers and stands have been snapped up with over 40 exhibitors now involved.

“There’s a growing landlord, rental and finance community in Yorkshire and brokers, IFAs and introducers will find it beneficial 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 at the website.”
