Broadhead, head of mortgages and housing at the Building Societies Association (BSA), will open the MBE North event on 19th March in Manchester.

He will provide insights into the economic outlook for the housing and mortgage sector.

Broadhead’s life in financial services started in 1995 with Halifax, where he held a range of roles across the business.

He went on to become a senior project manager, delivering transformation programmes across the organisation.

He was then seconded to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister as business change manager before joining the BSA and setting up its mortgage team in 2008.

Broadhead regularly works with Government, politicians and regulators. He is also a frequent media commentator and conference speaker on matters relating to mortgages and housing in the UK.

The MBE North will again host the FIBA Annual Conference as well as a full seminar programme which will be chaired by Rob Barnard, director of intermediary relationships, Pepper Money.

Mortgage Business Expo is a dedicated event for mortgage practitioners and professionals providing opportunities, forecasts and trends for the UK mortgage and specialist lending markets.

MBE event director Mike Mikunda said: “The Mortgage Business Expo provides an excellent opportunity for brokers to speak directly to providers, earn CPD points and hear the latest insights from some of the most authoritative voices in the industry. We’re delighted to welcome Paul Broadhead to deliver the keynote speech at our MBE North event. He’s an entertaining and informed speaker and this will be a valuable session for any industry professional who is able to attend.”
