Hope Capital, Blemain Group, Affirmative Finance, Funding 365 and United Trust Bank will all be sponsoring the landmark event.
Jonathan Sealey, Director of Hope Capital, said he was proud to be working with the AOBP on the Northern Broker event and to help it become a permanent fixture in the bridging calendar.
“As one of the North West’s leading lenders and longstanding members of the AOBP, we’re delighted to be sponsors of their inaugural Northern Broker event.
“It offers a great networking opportunity for all the bridging professionals across the region and beyond, and we’re very much looking forward to it.
Marc Goldberg, Commercial Director at Blemain Group, added: “It’s a testament to how strong the North West is within the sector that the first AOBP event to be held outside London will be in Man-chester, and with around 100 brokers expected to attend, it’s certain to be a really interesting event.”
Gary Lederberg, Director of Affirmative Finance, was also very proud to be part of the event and hoped it would be the first of many.
“There is a significant amount of business to be written in these regions and it is extremely im-portant that brokers and intermediaries are given direct and unfettered access to lenders and their decision makers. The event will be a huge success.”
Meanwhile, Mike Strange, Managing Director of Funding 365, stated: “As a lender who actively seeks out bridging opportunities outside of the South East, we're delighted to be supporting the inaugural AOBP Northern Broker Event and we look forward to enhancing our relationship with this thriving area.”
