The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) has confirmed plans for a new inclusivity and equity initiative.

A webinar session for mortgage professionals is to take place on Monday 17 October at 10:30am, the trade association confirmed.

Last year, the AMI released its Viewpoint report on diversity and inclusion within the mortgage industry. This report and accompanying session highlighted the issues facing the mortgage industry along with ideas and actionable steps that could be made to move forward positively.

The Association said there have been “encouraging signs” over the last year but added there remains “much to do on the journey”.

Tracie Burton of HSBC will host the session and will be joined by a number of people from the mortgage industry working to drive positive change. Chief executive at the AMI, Robert Sinclair, will summarise the progress the industry is making, and this will be followed by a panel debate with Nick Mendes of John Charcol, Alison Houghton-Corfield of MPF, Dom Scott of Lifetime Connect, Dina Bhudia of P2M and Andrew Montlake of Coreco.

AMI chief executive, Robert Sinclair, commented: “The members of AMI and IMLA have been working together over the last year to develop answers to some of the issues raised in the Viewpoint report. With brokers and lenders collaborating we have pulled together the start of a new journey for our great industry. Please join us on Monday 17 October to learn more.”

The AMI webinar will be hosted on the Legal & General BrightTalk channel.
