Michelle Westley, head of marketing at Brightstar Financial (pictured above), said: “We have conducted research among brokers to understand what they want to hear about and we’ve put a lot of thought into developing a programme of content that can make a tangible difference to broker businesses. 

“The Specialist Lending Virtual Expo will deliver product and market information and education, with insights into how brokers can spot and make the most of opportunities. 

“It is a strictly ‘no sales pitch zone’ and all of our expert speakers will be promoting increased broker knowledge, rather than their own businesses. 

“We are confident this will be a must-attend event, but places are limited so get in quickly and register now.”
