AF-PA is supporting the Leasing & Finance Industry Christmas Charity Lunch in Aid of Macmillan at IOD on 15th December, which has sold out in advance.

AF-PA had surveyed over a hundred members on the direction of the group at the last meeting, and found that:

  • Members like the informality and opportunity to network at modest cost
  • Additional black tie or other networking opportunities and events are worth considering
  • Better and more regular communication is required from AF-PA
  • Members were pleased to support charitable giving whilst happy to see investment from event, membership and sponsorship fees towards a website refresh & other industry related initiatives
  • Some members were prepared to volunteer services to either the management of AF-PA and some members were prepared to help with specific events

As a result, AF-PA Chair in 2017 Johnnie Halliday (Linedata Lending and Leasing Software Solutions) said AF-PA Spring 2018 golf and regional networking events were being planned, and that they were in the process of building a brand new more interactive website.

“We have signed sponsorship from both Vitrix and Shoosmiths and are looking for £1000 each from two other sponsors to cover the initial cost. For further details please email vohanlon@vitrx.co.uk” said Halliday.
