The Leasing Foundation’s Third Annual Conference was hosted and sponsored by Siemens Financial Services. The event started with an afternoon of one-hour industry retreats on:
- Internet of Things (“IoT”) technologies in the leasing industry, in collaboration with Newcastle University;
- the Foundation’s leadership programme, The Leasing Foundation Future Leaders;
- new challenges for human resources professionals in the industry through the HR Professionals Network;
- the Foundation’s Gender Diversity Scorecard;
- the Young Leasing Professionals Network, aimed at those building careers in the industry.
During the conference reception, sponsored by Hexaware and with entertainment sponsored by Bibby Leasing, the launch of Me&MND immediately raised over £5,000 in pledges, with more pledges arriving throughout and following the conference. We would like to thank Close Brothers and Close Brothers Leasing for their support.
