CONGRATULATIONS to Lynda Gibson, who has been asked to speak on day one of Compliance Week Europe, which takes place on 15-16 October in Amsterdam, Holland.

The Head of Compliance for the Glasgow based leasing broker will be speaking on the ESG panel, which addresses ESG reporting and due diligence and how new regulations to help save the planet and protect human rights will impact compliance teams and businesses.
“I was invited to speak due to my ‘senior expertise and knowledge in compliance’,” Lynda told Broker News.
Among the firms in attendance are senior representatives from the Authority for Data Protection and the Freedom of Information Rhineland-Palatinate, Meta, GSK, News Corp, Volkswagen, WeWork, Monzo Bank, and Carnival Corporation.
Lynda has also been on the panel at last year’s BVRLA Leasing Broker Conference on Consumer Duty. Fleet Alliance earlier this year relaunched as a ‘sustainable mobility provider’.
