Pepper Money has launched the second series of its podcast for mortgage intermediaries, The Specialist.
The podcast is hosted by Rob Barnard, intermediary relationship director at Pepper Money and will feature special guests discussing critical topics in the mortgage industry.
The first episode is out now and features Pepper Money chief executive, Laurence Morey who, amongst other things, chats about the current funding environment and the different options that are available to lenders.
Future episodes will include Richard Merritt from Simplybiz, with his Mortgage Climate Action Group hat on, talking about the green issues facing the industry and a customer talking about how their broker, working together with Pepper Money, helped them secure the mortgage they needed where others had previously failed. There will be a special episode for International Women’s Day featuring Pepper Money’s proposition director, Samantha Da Silva, and Sesame Bankhall Group’s Steph Charman looking at broker and customer wellbeing, whilst Legal & General Mortgage Club’s Danny Belton will also be visiting the studio to chat to Barnard.
The Specialist podcast is available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Barnard (pictured) said: “The Specialist is the perfect name for our podcast, as we’re such a diverse specialist lender. Our guests are from really varied backgrounds, so what you’ll find is we spend a few minutes at the beginning of each episode getting to know them and getting under the skin of what they’re really like. Then we discuss their areas of expertise, so that they can share their experience, much of which we think will benefit our broker listeners.
“The episodes are all around 20 minutes, so they are short and punchy. It’s very informal but very informative. It’s our aim to get the facts across but keep it light-hearted.
“It’s my mission to keep the podcast relevant and helpful, talking about real topics that are pertinent to brokers, like the green agenda or inclusivity in finance. Above all we want to continue to be engaging and relevant, and have a little bit of something for everybody.”
