The Specialist Lending Expo is set to feature two significant panel discussions, both likely to be pivotal for industry professionals. The first panel, led by Rob Jupp, CEO of the Brightstar Group, will delve into opportunities within the mortgage market. Key focus areas will include the impact of the national Budget, a topic of considerable concern given its implications for market stability and growth. Attendees will also consider whether the buy-to-let sector is nearing its decline, a debate that resonates deeply amidst current economic trends. Rob Jupp will be joined by a panel of esteemed professionals, including Adrian Moloney of OSB Group, Barry Searle of Castle Trust Bank, Steve Cox of Fleet Mortgages, and David Whittaker of Keystone Property Finance, whose insights are eagerly anticipated.
In parallel, the second panel discussion has been designed to provide valuable insights into organisational culture, a theme that continues to gain traction in today’s corporate discourse. Clare Jupp, chief people officer at the Brightstar Group, will lead this exploration, with contributions from leaders such as Buster Tolfree, director of mortgages at United Trust Bank, and Hayley Evans of OSB Group. They will collectively address innovative ways to inspire and retain talent – a critical challenge across sectors.
Further enriching the programme, the Expo will also feature a keynote presentation that promises to deliver up-to-date economic insights. Darren Winder, head of Lazarus Economics and Strategy, is set to illuminate the financial landscape, equipping attendees with the latest forecasts and trends that could shape business decisions. Complementing this, a one-on-one dialogue between William Lloyd-Hayward of Brightstar and Joshua Elash of MT Finance will delve into specific industry dynamics.
The Specialist Lending Expo, scheduled for 13th November at Riverside East, Stratford, exemplifies the industry’s commitment to education and collaboration. Rob Jupp noted the impressive line-up and the nearly full capacity, reflecting the event’s significant draw. Leah Brunskill from Market Financial Solutions highlighted the importance of such forums in advancing market understanding, underscoring their role in fostering collective advancement.
The Specialist Lending Expo is poised to be a cornerstone event for those seeking profound insights into the mortgage and lending landscapes.
