Financial Reporter & Equity Release Council announce winner of Expo competition

The lucky winner is Andre Bartlett, Associate Director at SPF Private Clients, who were established in 1997 as Savills Private Finance and specialise in advice to clients at the top-end of the market.  SPF Private Clients provide financing solutions for residential, investment and commercial property both in the UK and internationally. Alongside this, SPF recently launched a specialist division which is now offering short term finance to the broker market, with competitive rates and exclusive funding.

Financial Reporter and Equity Release Council would like to thank all that entered the competition and congratulate Mr Bartlett.  The bus shared by the two companies was a huge success and attracted hundreds of visitors over the course of the two-day event.

Andre Bartlett said:

"As a new-to-the-market packager, the Expo was a great opportunity to meet some new contacts and many friends. It was a good day made even better by winning an iPad Mini! The Financial Reporter stand was eye catching and the most original there so was definitely worth the visit."

Amy Loddington, editor of Financial Reporter, said:

"Congratulations to Andre Bartlett  - and thank you to everybody who visited the bus and entered the competition. It was both an enjoyable and productive two days for us and a huge part of that comes from the delegates we have the chance to meet or catch up with. I'd also like to say thank you to Andrea and Denise from the Equity Release Council, who were a pleasure to share the bus with."

Andrea Rozario, Director General of the Equity Release Council, added:

“Firstly, congratulations to Andre Bartlett on winning our competition! The Equity Release Council was delighted to take part in this year’s Mortgage Business Expo, which took place last week. It was quite a unique experience to spend two days situated on a bus but there were a lot of interesting people to meet and talk to, including our neighbours on the floor below, the staff of Financial Reporter.
 
“Attendance was good and the quality of leads that we spoke to were excellent, which is a positive sign for the mortgage market as a whole as well as the equity release sector.  We hope that all those who attended found the two-day events as useful as we did.”
