"Thank you for the opportunity to attend the Summit. It was extremely informative, with sessions like L&G’s 'lazy equity' and Safe Steps providing practical insights. We also made valuable connections and left inspired to better support older borrowers."

"The Equity Release Council's Summit at Church House in Westminster was a triumph. Packed halls and breakouts, feverish excitement in the exhibition halls and a truly extraordinary keynote from Nick Lyons of Phoenix that cappped off some excellent sessions.
I can't remember learning so much in a single day at any conference ever - and I have been to a few.
It's not often that a conference works as well as this did and when it does, it needs to be called out.
And all this - carried out with immense goodwill and the espirit de corps of a professionally run trade body that is a model to many like it."

"I am proud to be the lead sponsor at the northern equity release council summit this year. The Summit provides an excellent opportunity to bring our whole industry together to network and discover an insight into other aspects of the industry which we would not normally see. Being the first legal provider to headline the summit also raises the importance of the legal industry within our sector, ensuring that both the borrowers and lenders are protected to provide stability and longevity to the market."
