The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) has hailed the second Commercial Finance Expo as a huge success after 900 delegates attended the show.

Chief executive Adam Tyler said: “We had 1,200 brokers registered to attend and we could have had more exhibitors, but we kept to the planned 72 stands for this year, and crucially almost 60 of those were taken by active commercial lenders.

“In addition 21 of these lenders had underwriters along on the day so that our brokers could talk about deals on the day. I know of a few cases where fully packaged deals were actually submitted on the stands.”
