IMLA elects new chairman and committee

John Maltby will take over as IMLA’s new chairman, while the new management committee will comprise Iain Crump, Tim Dawson and outgoing chairman John Heron.

John Maltby comments: “I’m delighted to be taking over the chairmanship of IMLA at an exciting and challenging time in the industry, with a whole variety of different issues facing us, such as regulation and how lenders and intermediaries should respond to it. I look forward to interesting times ahead.”

John Heron says: “The past year has been a particularly busy one. We worked hard to help deliver a credible trade body for intermediaries, which I believe we now have in the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries. Much time has been dedicated to ensuring that the FSA received a high quality response to its various consultations from IMLA members. Due to the interest and participation of its members, IMLA is today a stronger and more influential organisation than it has ever been and I am delighted that John Maltby has stepped forward to lead IMLA into 2004.”
