Stephanie Charman & Vikki Jefferies | Industry-wide reflections: What’s shaping today’s mortgage market?
In this episode of Just Covered, we're excited to host Stephanie Charman, the new CEO of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI), and our very own Vikki Jefferies, who has recently assumed her new role as Market Development Director. In this friendly and lively chat, they discuss their diverse backgrounds in the industry and the transitions that led them to their current positions. Gladly, they also share personal insights on current mortgage market conditions, changing regulations, and, perhaps refreshingly, their positive outlook on the future. They also discuss some of the game-changing initiatives they’ve recently been involved in. It’s an entertaining and informative hour-long chat…
This episode also covers:
- Some of the ongoing work and research of the AMI, including their collaboration with Legal & General.
- Key drivers of industry change like the rise of Green Mortgage Advice initiatives, AMI’s Protection Viewpoint, the Working Mortgage Scheme, and other leading schemes and innovations.
- The variety of roles available in the financial services sector and the importance of mentorship in supporting advisers to realise their career goals.
