AMI Annual Dinner Sponsorship Highlights Industry Collaboration

The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) Annual Dinner is recognised as one of the mortgage sector’s longest running networking events, bringing together advisers, lenders, regulators, and other stakeholders. TSB has served as the headline sponsor since 2019 and will continue its support through the 2026 dinner.

The 2026 AMI Annual Dinner is scheduled for 11 June at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House. According to Mortgage Solutions, Stephanie Charman, chief executive of the AMI, and Beverley Bradford, head of mortgage distribution at TSB, discussed the significance of the event and its sponsorship ahead of this year’s dinner.

Charman stated that the Annual Dinner champions the intermediary sector and the value of advice, noting the importance of having a lender visibly committed to this message. She also highlighted that ongoing dialogue between advisers, lenders, regulators, and other stakeholders has been a central priority since she became chief executive.

Bradford commented that the partnership between AMI and TSB demonstrates the importance of intermediary relationships and signals unity in facing industry challenges. Both Charman and Bradford agreed that the sponsorship is a public statement of shared values at a time when the industry is addressing structural questions, including those related to artificial intelligence and open finance.

Charman reflected on the rapidly changing market conditions in 2026, noting that advisers have proactively supported customers in uncertain times. She emphasised the importance of open dialogue between lenders and advisers to deliver the best outcomes for customers.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the ongoing collaboration between key industry stakeholders at events like the AMI Annual Dinner underscores the value of strong relationships and open communication in navigating a changing property market.
