As an innovator in the lending space, Hodge is committed to developing propositions that align with the unique demands of modern borrowers, with an emphasis on greater flexibility and understanding.

The Webinar will be hosted by James Enos, National Account Manager & Emma Graham, Director of Business Development at Hodge and welcome guests Steve Humphries (Proposition Director Mortgages - MAB) and Jane Simpson (Strategic Relationship Manager – L&G).
Together, we’ll discuss the changing needs of today’s borrower and the importance of adapting to these needs collectively, as the mortgage market moves into a new era of lending.

• The barriers many foreign national borrowers face
• The need for innovative lending solutions
• What’s coming next
