The first event will return to the Royal Armouries in Leeds on 8 July and the second in the heart of London’s financial community, The Business Design Centre (pictured) on 14 October.

During the expos, initiatives will address the challenging environment of the past 12 months, The Fintech Hub and a new business clinic.

In addition, both expos will host a full schedule of CPD accredited seminars and panel debates featuring leading industry experts providing an insight into the latest topics.

Mike Mikunda, event director at MBE, said: “After the past 12 months that we have all endured, we are looking forward to a positive end to 2021 and to seeing exhibitors, visitors, sponsors and knowledge partners again.

“MBE has become an important event in the financial intermediary calendar and with many new and exciting initiatives planned, we look forward to welcoming you back with renewed energy to Leeds on 8 July and to London on 14 October.”
