The role of UK independent lessors and bank asset finance providers in helping businesses manage through the pandemic will feature as a major talking point during a discussion with two industry heavyweights (Sam Geneen and Lindsay Town) to be streamed on 4 March at 1pm.
In a broad-ranging interview with Sam Geneen (the chairman of Star Asset Finance), interviewer Lindsay Town (the CEO of IAA-Advisory), explores the role of the British Business Bank in breathing life back into SMEs, the value of peer-to-peer lending and – in the wake of Ron Kalifa’s Fintech Review – what comes next for fintechs in the asset finance space.

The 30-minute interview also touches on other matters dear to the hearts of UK lessors, such as taxation, cyber fraud, wholesale funding and the shape of work in the 21st century.
The pre-recorded chat is the first in a series of at least six similar interview-style discussions that Lindsay Town will be hosting scheduled into July and are sponsored by LTi Technology Solutions, a US-based provider of in-the-cloud asset finance technology with a strong presence in the UK.
“Although LTi is a sponsor of this event, we wanted to hand the interviewing to a seasoned industry professional, so we’re proud to say that Lindsay Town, with at least 45-years’ experience under his belt in various leadership roles, agreed to do this for us.
“We know he’ll generate good debate and get the best out of the captains of industry we’ve lined up in the weeks ahead,” said Robert Taylor, UK country manager for LTi Technology Solutions.
