Membership grew well last year, and this year we are focussing on ‘Raising the bar’ – helping our members to provide excellent service to their clients.

"We will also be concentrating on providing more benefits for NACFB members, not just for this year but also for the future. For example, we are running a number of member events throughout 2007 – both regional workshops and other shows - and look forward to seeing as many of our members attend as possible.”

NACFB President, Stuart Barton, said: “Anyone who watches The Apprentice will appreciate how gruelling a ten-week interview process can be. Adam has had to endure an 18-month interview process – but that has put him in the best possible position to understand both the Association and the concerns of its members and means he is best placed take the Association forward. On behalf of the NACFB Board I would like to say how delighted I am to welcome Adam as CEO and I would like to take this opportunity of wishing him all the best in his new role.”
