Mortgage Advice Bureau achieves training award

The award is for UK employers that have successfully linked their skills development needs to business performance.

MAB delivers training programmes across its network, which consists of over 1,350 mortgage advisers and 180 employees.

MAB’s learning & development academy has undergone site audits, interviews with learners and businesses who have experienced a MAB training course, as well as a detailed evidencing process of both the impact on the business itself and outcomes for learners.

David Bedlow, head of learning and development at MAB, said: “We are extremely proud of the MAB learning and development academy, and the role it plays in helping inexperienced advisers into the industry. To have had over 200 advisers come through this programme is a testament to the hard work all the L&D team put in, but especially Andy Thompson who has been part of the academy since launch. Without his commitment, drive and passion, the academy wouldn’t be in a position to win this award. There have been so many contributions towards this accolade from the trainers who run the programme, the admin support, and the wider support we receive from other MAB teams.”

Peter Brodnicki, CEO of Mortgage Advice Bureau, added: “Learning and development is the foundation of our business. At MAB, we’re constantly evolving our proposition to meet the needs of the customer so it’s vitally important that our brokers and staff have access to first-class training and development. It’s also crucial that we continue to contribute to the wider development of the sector – the mortgage intermediary sector will be evolving fast over the next five years led by consumer behaviour and the choices technology delivers, and so it’s about knowing what is around the corner and equipping ourselves to embrace change.”
