The Intermediary has been named the exclusive media partner for the inaugural UK Mortgage Convention, launched by Brilliant Solutions. The event will be held on 6 March 2025 at the Science Museum in London, bringing together innovators and thought leaders from across the mortgage industry. 

The convention is designed to provide attendees with valuable insights, trends, and economic forecasts, featuring a curated programme of expert speakers, knowledge panels, and extensive networking opportunities. Confirmed speakers include Louisa Sedgwick, Rob Barnard, Roger Morris, Ian Scarrott, and Richard Fearon. 

While open to all intermediaries, the event focuses on directly authorised (DA) and remote brokers, providing access to industry knowledge and connections they may not typically encounter. Nearly 50 lenders have confirmed their participation, including Virgin Money, HSBC, Together, The Mortgage Lender, The Cambridge Building Society, Shawbrook, The Family Building Society, West One, Pepper Money, and MFS. 

Ivan Vizor, head of key accounts at Brilliant Solutions, said: “Brilliant Solutions is completely unique in that we’re the only specialist distributor that also has a mortgage club, which gives us access to phenomenal relationships with industry leaders, from the high street to the more specialist lenders. This event aims to take the knowledge and experience of the industry’s finest thought leaders and presenters to the UK’s mortgage brokers, particularly those that may not normally have the opportunity to attend events of this magnitude.” 

Ryan Fowler, managing director at Astor Media, said: “We are delighted that The Intermediary is the exclusive media partner for the UK Mortgage Convention. This event provides a fantastic platform to engage with brokers and lenders across the country, and we’re proud to support an initiative that brings valuable insights directly to the intermediary community.” Registration for the UK Mortgage Convention is now open, with brokers from across the UK already confirmed to attend.
