Date: Friday 30^th October 2020

The Right Mortgage and Protection Network will hold its first Virtual National Training Event, on November 26^th 2020.

The Network’s National Training Events, its flagship roadshow events, are put on by the Network each year, but this year, the event will look very different with the move to take everything online.

As a direct result of wanting to ensure their members had up to date information and assistance during this time, the Network announced the moving of its in-person events to virtual, meaning their members could access and attend the events from anywhere in the UK.

To date, the Network has held over 70 webinars since the year has begun, and have now turned their attention to bringing their National Training Event (NTE) online.

The event, which has been given the theme ‘Broker Vision: Navigating Business Through Changing Times’, will explore how both their brokers, lender and provider partners are navigating business through these changing times and will provide a unique brokers eye view on the challenges and opportunities presented by 2020.

This year’s online event will include:

• Keynote presentations from some of the industry’s leading names;
• Best practice advice from some of the network’s top brokers;
• Panel discussions across multiple product lines, including the ability for members to submit their questions;
• A virtual exhibition hall featuring videos, guides and much more;
• And, last but not least, their much-awaited awards ceremony celebrating their member’s achievements.

Their lender panels will include the likes of Kevin Roberts (Legal and General Mortgage Club), Caroline Mirakian (Pepper), Louisa Richie (Fleet), Chris Kirby (Kensington) and Nick Parker (Aldermore).

Whilst their protection panels feature a range of providers including Bonnie Earl (Met Life), Mark Godding (Aegon), Mark Cracknell (Aviva), Peter Hamilton (Zurich) and Vincent O’Connor (Royal London).

For their general insurance panels they will be joined by Brian Coulton (Paymentshield), Lee Denton (Source) and Sarah Watts (Legal and General).

With the growth of their later life lending and private medical insurance arms of the Network this year, the National Training Event will also feature panels for these areas.

The later life lending panels will include Craig Kerrigan (More2Life), Hattie Tales (Pure), Les Pick (Canada Life) and Michelle Peskett (Legal and General).

The private medical insurance panels will include speakers from Vitality and The Exeter

The event will also include a catch-up option, giving advisers the opportunity to access content from the virtual event at any point after it has taken place, should they not be able to make the live event.

“Following the success of our webinars, talks and webcasts, we knew there was a clear need for our National Training Event to adapt to an online format featuring content from a range of our providers and specialist divisions. We recognise the value these events offer to our members, as well as a chance for us to recognise their hard work and achievements in what has been an unpredicted year, and so we want to ensure we are helping our members emerge on the other side of everything 2020 has thrown at them, stronger in their knowledge of their service areas than ever before.

We are confident that, alongside the support of our providers, headline sponsors, and exhibitors, who will be providing our members with strong, informative talks, that this year’s event will certainly be one to remember.

I’m excited to see the hard work of all involved come to fruition on the 26^th November and welcome our advisers to register and get involved by using the hashtag #rightmortgageNTE to interact on the day”
