Building on the momentum of its 2024 series, which saw 18 events hosted across the UK, SortRefer has already delivered 10 regional events since February - and is set to surpass last year’s total well before the halfway point of the year. An additional seven events are confirmed for Q2, with three more currently in the pipeline.

So far this year, events have taken place in Solihull, Chesham, Dundee, Kettering, and Middlesbrough. SortRefer has also collaborated with the Full House, a collaboration between local mortgage providers, to bring professionals together in Plymouth, Llanelli, Wimbourne, Camberley, and Kent, developing regional access to industry-leading networking.

The programme continues from now to July with events in Derby, Sheffield, Torquay (Full House), Milton Keynes, Carlisle, Warrington, Brighton (Full House) and Glasgow. An additional event is being finalised for Northumberland, with a return to Brighton (Full House) planned for July.

Each event is free to attend, with free parking and refreshments, and attendees can earn CPD-accredited hours. The sessions are designed to be locally relevant, offering practical value and networking opportunities to mortgage intermediaries, brokers, and other industry professionals.

Topics covered include industry trends, best practices, and emerging opportunities for firms, with speakers and panels drawn from across the lending, legal, and property sectors.

SortRefer’s events have attracted an impressive list of lender collaborators, including Accord Mortgages, Buckinghamshire Building Society, CHL Mortgages, Coventry for Intermediaries, Foundation Home Loans, Furness Building Society, Hinckley & Rugby, Hodge, Kensington Mortgages, Keystone Property Finance, Leeds Building Society, Leek Building Society, Loans Warehouse, Loughborough Building Society, Mansfield For Intermediaries, Market Harborough BS, Moda Mortgages, Nottingham Building Society, Perenna, Saffron for Intermediaries, Scottish Building Society, Skipton Building Society, Source, Swansea Building Society, The Exeter, The Family Building Society, The West Brom, West One and Zephyr.

Key supplier partners including STAMP, Watermans and the moving portal have also participated in the programme and contributed to its collaborative and solution-focused atmosphere.

Commenting on the success of this year’s regional events programme, Kevin Tunnicliffe, CEO of Sort Group, said:

"Our regional events are about building connections, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities and this year’s programme has exceeded our expectations in every sense - reach, feedback, ROI, and impact.

“We’re proud to be fostering meaningful connections and sharing industry-leading insights in regional areas that are often underserved when it comes to CPD and networking opportunities.”

Graham Le Bas, Head of Broker Proposition at Sort Refer, added:

“It’s been brilliant to see such a positive response from intermediaries and partners. What makes these events so effective is that they’re local, relevant, and genuinely useful.

“We’re creating real value for brokers by bringing together lenders, suppliers, and industry experts to share insights and build stronger relationships.”
