Since the formation of the Association of Mortgage Lenders in 1988, and its re-birth as the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders’ Association (IMLA) in November 1995, there have been 19 Chairmen of the trade body, 19 of whom were gathered at a celebratory lunch on Thursday, 5th July. Membership is the highest ever – with 42 Full and 13 Associate members. Chairman Phil Rickards welcomed all those attending the lunch with some reflections on the past 30 years and looked forward to a vibrant future for the association.
