The conference will close with a key-note speech from Frances Edmonds – best-selling author and broadcaster – who will be looking at how to develop business growth and the communication methods available to secure new business.
Rob Clifford, Chief Executive at Stonebridge, commented:
“Bringing together representatives from all our member firms each year is a real opportunity to outline the results they have achieved and highlight their successes, while we can also outline our plans to support them into 2020 and beyond. It also means we can provide attendees with not just access to providers and lenders but also offer an informative and interesting series of sessions that should provide food for thought on the large number of opportunities that exist in our sector.
“This year’s conference will focus specifically on the ‘protection gap’ but also look to provide insight into the current position of the UK economy and how it might react in a post-Brexit world, plus mortgage market-specific analysis. We will also have two sessions which are designed to show how data and technology can be married to consumer behaviour and actions in order to deliver the best advice outcomes.
“It promises to be a highly informative conference plus we also get the opportunity to recognise all our members and top performers at our evening dinner. We are looking forward to welcoming all our member firms to Nottingham in February, for what should be a valuable experience which certainly sets us all up for the year ahead.”
Viva Retirements are proud to be a member of Stonebridge and involved in this important conference.
