Last week saw the annual Finance & Leasing Association’s Dinner hosted at Grosvenor House, and hosted by guests John Hymphrys and Gabby Logan.
The annual dinner is always a favourite of the finance and leasing industries, and gathers together members and non-members to celebrate the industry’s progress and successes from the year. There were over 100 companies represented, a mixture of both members and non-FLA members from the industry.
The F&LA revealed as part of the event that in 2015 their members provided customers with over £110 billion in new finance, £29 billion of which was asset finance (split into leasing and hire purchase) to both businesses and public sector. This accounted for almost 32% of all UK investment in machinery, equipment, and purchased software.
Johnson Reed Managing Director Mark Johnson attended the event, and confirmed the success of the networking event as well as the incredible food served!
