National Training Event

Vision 2020

Our National Training Event will look ahead to 2020 and give you an insight into the networks vision and exciting developments in store!

We are bringing you interactive forums, 10 snapshot presentations from our lender and provider partners, as well as drop in sessions covering marketing, compliance, technology and everything else in between. You will also have the chance to visit over 70 exhibition stands, including our Right Group Zone, Later Life Lending Zone and PMI Zone. We also have a guest speaker in attendance (to be announced very soon)

And if these aren’t reason enough to attend, the event provides the perfect opportunity for you to come along and meet all of the Head Office staff for what will be a thought provoking, fun-filled day out of the office and worth 5 hours of CPD.

Based in the Midlands on the same site as the National Motorcycle Museum, it is easy to travel to no matter which area of the UK you are coming from. If you are driving, it is just off Junction 6 of the M42 and if you are flying over, then it is just a short trip from Birmingham International Airport.

Don’t miss out. Make sure that you book your place today!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Testimonials

Fantastic day, inspiring

I enjoyed seeing people from TRM in one place together with the lenders – it re-focus’s ones goals

Another brilliant event organised by Right Mortgage demonstrating that it genuinely has the best interests of its advisers at heart

Great atmosphere – gives you that buzz again

Great opportunity to gain knowledge especially from the lenders and providers not readily used.  The technology and compliance events are not to be missed as these are shaping the future.  Many thanks to all at TRM for yet another special day!

Thanks again for another most informative and useful day. Well organised, well presented, and a pleasure meeting my colleagues.
