The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries will launch its Viewpoint on Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in the mortgage industry on Thursday 21 October.

In July, Ami conducted a study into these matters, requesting views from across the mortgage market, the results of which will be announced at Thursday’s event.

It is hoped the study, operated by an independent research agency, will ensure that diversity, equity and inclusion continue to be a focal point for the industry.

It will provide an insight into how inclusive the mortgage industry is currently and what can be done by both individuals and firms to create a more balanced and inclusive industry for all. 

Ami chief executive Robert Sinclair says: “I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to complete our survey and to both Aldermore and Virgin Money for their support with this work.  The survey gives us a real insight into the challenges faced by women and people from underrepresented groups within the sector and highlights some of the changes needed to make a real and permanent difference.

“I hope that people will watch the presentation, read the report and take action, both as individuals and firms.  We need to work together to ensure that our industry embraces society in its widest sense, ensures that everyone feels safe, included and welcome, and that we are truly representative of our customers, both now and in the future.

“The AMI board would appreciate your support by joining us on this journey.”
