The Blimey! Loans Mortgage and Finance Expo promises to be ‘Scotland’s largest mortgage and finance exhibition for the intermediary market’ since the start of the financial crisis.

It will appeal to a wide cross section of finance professionals including mortgage brokers, IFAs, commercial finance brokers, accountants and solicitors – or indeed anyone that wants to learn more about maximising opportunities in mortgage and finance related markets.

There will be a lively seminar programme, predominantly aimed at delivering crucial information relating to the MMR and how the FCA adoption of the Consumer Credit Licence regime from the OFT will affect finance professionals’ businesses.

Aldermore Bank is the main event sponsor and a number of industry figures have confirmed to speak on the day. Aldermore’s Managing Director of Residential Mortgages, Charles Haresnape and AMI’s Bob Sinclair have agreed to speak at the event.

Aldermore Residential Mortgages Managing Director Charles Haresnape, said: "Aldermore is delighted to sponsor the Blimey! Loans Mortgage and Finance Expo in Scotland, which further demonstrates our commitment to Scotland, following the launch of our mortgage proposition to brokers in June there last year.

"It will be interesting to hear the views from intermediaries in Scotland on how the Mortgage Market Review is going to affect them and the ways in which mortgage lenders such as Aldermore can help them to overcome the challenges arising from these regulatory changes."

Representatives from Nationwide BS and the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) will also be presenting.

Adam Tyler, CEO of the NACFB, said: “The Mortgage and Finance Expo is an event that the NACFB is very keen to support and we will certainly have a presence there. It’s going to be a crucial year for Scottish businesses, so this is a very welcome opportunity to reach out to those brokers working north of the border.”

Alistair Ewing of Blimey! Loans said: “As our industry approaches another period of evolution, educating and connecting with intermediary partners has never been more important. We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh!”

Exhibitors already confirmed include: The FCA, Aldermore Bank, Precise Mortgages, Masthaven Bridging Finance, Blemain Finance, Shawbrook Bank, Goldentree Financial Services, Lowry Capital, NACFB, Loan Talk, Lloyds Bank, and Nationwide.
