“A big thank you to all the panelists who have confirmed their participation and we look forward to a lively and entertaining debate.”

Spencer Wyer, Strategic Development Director at CLSQ, said: “I attended the inaugural Mortgage Market Debate with a colleague and we were really impressed by the number of senior decision makers in the room as well as the level of open and honest debate. At CLSQ we are launching some exciting initiatives in the coming months that we believe will fundamentally change the industry. Sponsoring the Mortgage Market Debate gives us the opportunity to connect with the right people whilst also attending one of the few mortgage events specifically tailored to executive level participants.”

“I would like to thank Square 1 Media for organizing such a unique event in the mortgage industry and inviting CLSQ as a major sponsor.”
