What the European road to recovery will look like for leasing professionals as economies return to health from Covid-19, will be a key question during a webinar next week presented by key players on the European equipment finance scene.
Event organiser Acquis, a UK-based asset finance insurer, has lined up executives from BNP Paribas and Societe Generale – Europe’s top two providers of leasing services by volume – who will offer their views on the risks and opportunities likely to emerge on the road to recovery in the UK and the Continent.

Pascal Layan (deputy chief executive of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions) and Odile de Saivre (deputy chief executive of Societe Generale Equipment Finance) will address delegates at 2pm on Tuesday 20 April and will jointly consider how asset finance can be leveraged to power SME recovery and growth coming out of the pandemic.
The organisers said: “As businesses begin to build a path to growth in this uncertain environment, asset finance will play a critical role in powering investment and enabling rapid deployment of assets that will underpin future profitability. But the recovery is likely to be uneven, with economic performance differing between nations, industry sectors and individual companies.
Also addressing the delegates will be Nick Leader, the chief executive of Acquis and John Bennett, the former chair of Leaseurope.
On the topic of the company’s pandemic experience, Nick Leader recently said: “Acquis has launched 13 equipment insurance programmes for new clients since the pandemic began and an additional three with existing clients, which is a remarkable achievement given the circumstances.”
Organisers say the webinar is targeted at professionals working for equipment finance lessors, bank-owned leasing companies, independent leasing companies, captive finance companies and asset finance companies.
