The first will be held on 19 February in Fareham, Hampshire and will run throughout February and March at ten other locations.

The seminars will be half-day events and will feature sessions on compliance, debt management and lead generation, as well as presentations from lenders including Abbey and Alliance & Leicester. The network’s seminars are open to both existing and potential appointed representatives as well as directly authorised members who receive compliance support from Pink.

Neil Hoare, sales & marketing director at Pink Home Loans, commented: “One of the main focuses for the events will be debt management, which is becoming a growth area in the current climate. With the repossessions set to rise to 75,000 this year, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, then it is essential that intermediaries are aware of how they can best help their clients who may get into financial difficulties.”
