Broker News Awards – book your place!

This week we open bookings for the awards. We have introduced two tier pricing for the first time to enhance the value of our award partners and supporters who make the event such a success: brokers and funders pay the lower price, while suppliers pay the higher price.  Of course, should you want to support the event, then your seat is included automatically. For further information about award sponsorship contact me – Ralph.Morton@mortonmedia.co.uk. I look forward to a great event.

Is 2025 the year of further consolidation?

First, congratulations to the Global Vans team, led by XLCR’s Lee Duerden, for the purchase of Rod Lloyd’s the lcv group – and not a whisper of it before the deal was done. But it also points the way for further consolidation of the market as the sector matures. Upscaling is a difficult climb and larger pockets can always help. For smaller brokers, the AR route might be advantageous. It all points to fewer but bigger brokers as the year progresses.
