The events included a golfing tournament, a charity auction, a sponsored cross-channel swim, and a summer event on the Yacht in London.

“The London event saw over 200 asset finance professionals from a diverse range of companies and all business levels, join forces to network in the sun and raise money for our chosen Summer charity: Partnership for Children,” said spokesman Johnnie Halliday in a release on behalf of the AFPA.

After a long career in leasing at companies ranging from Pitney Bowes Leasing to Five Arrows, Cassiopae and Linedata, Johnnie Halliday took up the honorary position as High Sheriff of Somerset – a role that he will balance with running independent consultancy Asset Finance Management Solutions. He spoke to Leasing Life about the state of the asset finance industry in 2019, and what has changed since he began his career in 1980.
