Well done to all at Propel Finance and we hope you enjoyed the evening at #LWGold22 last Thursday!

Congratulations Aldermore Bank ...not just on the two award wins with accompanying gold statuettes, but also there appears to be a bottle of champagne in the mix from last Thursday's #LWGold22 Gold Awards!

Some familiar faces adding their energy to the Leasing Foundation today...more power to them!

A very Merry Christmas to all our readers, subscribers and supporters, from Robin (Editor, with hat) and Jan (Publisher, currently hatless)!

A broadly optimistic outlook, with caveats -- good blog here from Julian Rose

Hope the day went well Credo Asset Finance -- it's always valuable to get away from the laptop and see people in 3D!

Golden tickets = great Doubled golden tickets = twice as great This week only from PraeturaAF !

The halfway point of the Leasing World calendar year isn't the Longest Day next week, but tomorrow's NACFB #CFE2023. If you're going there too, you'll find Jan and Robin somewhere among the conference theatre and the 140+ Expo stands -- we plan to be first in, last out!

We're torn between nominating the fresh-pressed carrot juice stand or the controversy-skirting negotiations at Time Finance to get a Time logo on top of a macchiato. Of course the networking's always good too... NACFB #CFE2023
