Over 350 guests will be attending Asset Finance Connect’s Summer Awards evening which takes place on July 13th at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London. The evening will celebrate the best and brightest in the industry with delegates flying in from afar afield as India and the US.

“This will be the largest summer gathering of the asset finance industry. A great way to celebrate our innovation, a great way to celebrate before everyone disappears on holiday” said Edward Peck, CEO of Asset Finance Connect. “We’re really looking forward to it”.

These awards are our industry’s opportunity to get together to celebrate innovation and best practice in the auto and equipment finance sectors. Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise outstanding contributions by companies and individuals, highlighting how technology is being used to create new business opportunities and transform daily life.

The awards are assessed and voted on by an independent panel of industry experts, and are designed to showcase the very best in asset finance, and to acknowledge those organisations and leaders who have committed to making a real change.

Asset Finance Connect Summer Awards follows hard on the heels of Asset Finance Connect UK Summer Conference which won record net promoter scores, winning widespread acknowledgement for its cutting edge content.
