This forum saw industry players take part in a discussion on the challenges currently facing the sector.
Attendees included Keith Ahmed (Sort Group), Rhodri Howells (Sort Legal), Tammy Jones (Birchall Blackburn), Mark Slade and Matt Slader (Fidler & Pepper), Kevin Smith (Simplify Group), Martin Hoare (Gorvins), Martin Crighton (Right Choice Conveyancing), Lee Richie (Optimus), Gary Tyman (Gilson HPL), Mike Holden (Landmark) and Tom Barker (Gordons).
Tunnicliffe, CEO of Sort Group, said: “It’s encouraging to see how much progress has been made since we launched the forums back in January.
“The initiative is really gaining momentum and feedback from the escalation system is a great example of how industry collaboration can lead to practical improvements.
“Moving our forums to different venues across the UK is enabling us to engage with a wider range of professionals and facilitate honest conversations around current challenges and potential industry-wide solutions.
“We are committed to continuing these conversations and working towards creating a more efficient and cohesive conveyancing sector.”
