NACFB Commercial Finance Expo 2011 "huge success"
1st July 2011
The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) has hailed the second Commercial Finance Expo as a huge success as over 900 delegates attended the show.
Chief executive, Adam Tyler, said: “Clearly there is such a demand for this kind of event. We had 1200 brokers registered to attend and we could have had more exhibitors, but we kept to the planned 72 stands for this year, and crucially almost 60 of those were taken by active commercial lenders. In addition 21 of these lenders had underwriters along on the day so that our brokers could talk about deals on the day. I know of a few cases where fully packaged deals were actually submitted on the stands.
He continued: “We are thrilled with the feedback we received on the day as well as the astonishing e-mails I have had and tweets I have seen this morning. It was good that we had representation from lenders and funders of all sizes and we are also delighted that we have exhibitors from across the whole commercial finance spectrum.”
Our exhibitors said.
- “Having helped to organise and attended several Expos over the years I have to say this is the best in my opinion - well done.”
- “Just a quick note to say what a great success yesterday was and thank you very much, we met so many serious brokers and our jaws and feet were aching! We will certainly be back next year and I look forward to discussing other events with you.”
- “I for one do appreciate the amount of work it takes to co-ordinate such an event and have received only really positive comments back from all of the attendees I spoke to and exhibitors alike.”
Adam concluded: “The target for this event was to bring the industry together and to do business, we achieved this and as a real bonus, it was positive feel at the event that was commented on time and time again. This was the event for the commercial finance industry this year, and we have already taken plenty of bookings for stands for next year.”
