Thank you to everyone that took part in our recent online survey. The results are now being analysed and we will let you know the outcome soon.
It already seems clear that the majority of members are in favour of widening our membership criteria and allowing non-banking real estate lenders to join the organisation. The name change and rebranding of the APB is the next logical step and we will continue to progress down that path. The Association of Property Lenders seems to be the most popular choice of name and we are now looking at rebranding to reflect that.
We will also take the opportunity to freshen up the website and try to make it more user-friendly for our members. If you have any comments on that then please contact me or another board member.
It is very pleasing to see so many new members still joining the organisation despite these turbulent times. Today I am attending a new members buffet lunch for around 30 of our newest members to introduce them to the board and hear what their hopes and expectations are.
I hope you have a good summer break.
Andrew
