Christine Newell, of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “I’ve had the pleasure of attending a few of these webinars and I have to say that they have been very well run. It was great to see a lender being innovative and using their initiative to keep in contact with their broker customers and offer some kind of normality at a time where their own firm was pretty fragmented.
“I have always learnt something new about the topic of discussion and enjoyed the interaction and general camaraderie feel the webinars have projected.”
Paul Fenn (pictured), Skipton’s head of business development, added: “We’re delighted to offer our new Summer series of Skipton Talks webinars. There was plenty of interest from brokers in our first series in 2021.
“Skipton Talks 2021 is a continuation and upgrade on our 2020 Webinar series which attracted thousands of brokers and gave us some really helpful insight into what they want to hear about. The feedback has helped us shape the discussion topics and content to keep it relevant and useful for brokers and echoes Skipton’s commitment around Making Things Easier for You.”
