Broker News confirmed as partner of the BVRLA Leasing Broker Conference
Broker News is a partner of this year’s BVRLA Leasing Broker Conference. Taking place in June rather than October and in Birmingham rather than London, this year’s event will focus on Consumer Duty among a variety of other topics affecting leasing brokers.
But the best news of all is that Societe Generale’s chief UK economist Brian Hilliard is returning. If you always thought economic reviews were boring, then Brian’s entertaining style turns that on its head. It’s worth the free entry ticket on its own.
