He said: “Adding to our already accomplished board will ensure that we collaborate successfully across our industry and trade bodies and use our reach to lead positive change in the development of professionals in the leasing and asset finance market.”
Peter Thomas, executive director of the Leasing Foundation, said: “Our new directors bring to us a collective wealth of international experience, insight, influential networks, and commitment. I am excited about the prospect of working with my new colleagues and I am delighted to welcome them.”
