In 2026, we’re set to have an even bigger voice in shaping UK mortgage policy. And strengthening collaboration across the intermediary market. That’s because our Director of Business Development, Paul Fenn, has been elected to the Management Committee of the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA) for 2026.
If you’re not familiar with IMLA, it’s a body that represents UK lenders who work with professional financial intermediaries. By joining the Committee, Paul will help set industry priorities, build stronger intermediary relationships, and support a mortgage market that’s robust, customer‑focused and fit for the future.
Paul says, “I’m delighted to have been elected to IMLA’s Management Committee. The opportunity to help shape and influence the issues that matter most to intermediaries, customers and lenders is something I’m really excited and passionate about. In a market where dynamics can shift almost monthly, it’s more important than ever that we work collaboratively across the sector to influence policy, support brokers and ensure our market continues to adapt and thrive.”
Paul’s election is another step in using our expertise to influence policy and push for meaningful change on behalf of our members – and for brokers like you. The Committee brings together leaders from across the lending industry. Paul’s appointment puts us right at the heart of those conversations.
Paul adds, “By working closely with peers, policymakers and key industry stakeholders, as well as the wider broker community, we can make sure the intermediary mortgage market continues to deliver what matters for customers and remains resilient for the future. I’m proud to be taking on this role and look forward to contributing positively alongside colleagues from across the industry.”
