Cornerstone Finance Group is bringing together more than 400 mortgage advisers, partners, and industry professionals for the Cornerstone Expo 2026, set to take place at ICC Wales, Newport, on Thursday 19 March. The event will feature over 80 exhibitors and a full programme of keynote sessions exploring the economic outlook as well as insights into the property and protection markets.
A highlight of this year’s Expo will be a fireside chat between Olympic medallist Darren Campbell MBE and Cornerstone Finance Group CEO Haydn Thomas. Darren will share his remarkable personal journey – rising to Olympic success despite a challenging adolescence in Manchester, and later overcoming serious health issues including a life‑threatening brain bleed in 2018.
Haydn Thomas, our CEO said:
“Darren’s story is one of vision, grit and determination, and I’m looking forward to discussing the relationships and attributes that helped him overcome adversity throughout his life. At the Cornerstone Network, building strong relationships is central to how we support both businesses and advisers, and insights from leaders like Darren help inspire and shape that approach.”
The Expo is supported by Lloyds Banking Group as headline sponsor, with Atom Bank sponsoring event merchandise and Signature Property Finance sponsoring the Cornerstone Awards, which will follow the Expo. Cornerstone Finance Group was recently recognised as one of the 50 fastest‑growing businesses in Wales by the UK Fast Growth Index 2025.
The event is open to members of the Cornerstone Network and invited guests.
