NACFB Expo looks set to beat exhibitor record
The NACFB is busy gearing up for the NACFB Commer- cial Finance Expo to be held at the Pavilions, NEC in Bir- mingham on the 27th June. It is the third year of the event and has gone from strength to strength, with delegates and exhibitors increasing year on year. The response so far has
been extremely encouraging and it looks likely that the past two years’ delegate and exhibitor figures will be beat- en. It is thought that over 1,000 delegates and around
90 exhibitors will take part on the day, cementing the event as the biggest and best Expo in the commercial fi- nance industry. The evening of the 26th
June will also see a drinks re- ception to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the NACFB. The reception is kindly spon- sored by Shawbrook in asso- ciation with Business Money and will be a fantastic way to celebrate the 20 years that they Association has been operating and a nice way to bring in the Commercial Fi-
nance Expo. Adam Tyler, CEO of the
NACFB, explained the im- portance of the day to the in- dustry: “Our Expo truly brings together all aspects of the commercial finance in- dustry, with representatives from asset finance, commer- cial mortgages, buy-to-let, ve- hicle finance and factoring all under one roof. “The reputation this Expo
has built in the few years that it has been running is testi- mony to the quality of the exhibitors and the positive
response that it has received from the industry. We truly believe that the NACFB Commercial Finance Expo is the premium event in the commercial market and should be one of the most important dates in any bro- ker’s diary. We strongly rec- ommend you book early as demand is extremely high this year.” To book your place please

market. Adam Tyler, CEO of the
NACFB, commented: “The NACFB has become more vocal in the past few years, with the aim of specifically promoting some of the alter- native funders that are do- ing a great job in terms of helping the UK SME sector move forward. The Associa- tion has also taken a more proactive approach to in-
forming SMEs of the range of funding options in the market by visiting SME trade shows and working with trade associations that represent SMEs in the UK. It is our job as an Associa- tion to tell UK businesses how our brokers can help source funding that busi- ness owners may not be aware of and we believe our message is getting across.”
