About Chris
Chris formed AMI in 2003. Within two years, he firmly established AMI as the trade association for mortgage intermediaries taking it from a standing start to representing over 80% of the mortgage intermediary community today. It is his drive, tenacity and direction that has established a campaigning style of lobbying for the trade body which has earned AMI and its members industry wide respect, opened doors for discussion and ensured the opinions of mortgage intermediaries are heard amongst the right decision makers. Speaking out on the issues that matter, his focus is on: FSA costs, the retail distribution review and taking mortgage intermediary representation to Europe. His key themes have been: reputation, a fairer deal, and membership growth.
His success has been rewarded with the leadership of the AIFA family of trade bodies as Director General of AIFA (Association of Independent Financial Advisers). He has since expanded the team and the organisation to embrace secured loan brokers with the formation of AFB (Association of Finance Brokers) in July 2006.
He was previously Marketing Director of Sun Bank plc and was tempted into banking having spent two years at PwC as a management consultant advising financial services firms across the spectrum. Prior to this he was with PPP Healthcare and at Mercer Fraser where he was a management consultant serving clients in financial services – and aerospace!
He writes regular columns for the trade press and is a highly sought after industry speaker.
