“Stacy Penn and Rachel Edwards are two of the mortgage industry’s young, shining lights. Working in highly technical and important roles for the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI), much of what they do is generally not seen or understood by many they represent, though they are part of a new team who are changing this, and much more besides, in an industry ready to embrace change.
