NACFB "thrilled" with response to latest Expo

1st July 2011

The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) has hailed its second Commercial Finance Expo as a "huge success".

Over 900 delegates attended the show, which was held on Wednesday 29 June.

Adam Tyler, the NACFB’s chief executive, 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.

"We are thrilled with the feedback we received on the day as well as the astonishing emails 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.

"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."
