Close Brothers sponsors NACFB

The show will see 90 lenders and 1200 brokers visit the NEC in the Pavillion.

Richard Briscoe, managing director of Close Brothers Business Finance, said: “We are delighted to extend our sponsorship of the NACFB Commercial Finance Expo in 2015, it’s one of the biggest events in our industry each year.

“The expo has proven to be a great success since it was first launched in 2009, and I believe this is because it offers a unique opportunity. It allows the wide broker network to engage with key lenders and meet with their peers to develop a better understanding of the range of funding options on the market.

“It’s about opening eyes to alternative lenders and in that respect the expo couldn’t come at a more important time, as our research found that two fifths of UK firms remain unaware of asset finance and the benefits it can provide.”
