AF-PA celebrates record year of fundraising

The BLF contribution was in memory of John Allen, the founder and developer of Finlex, the finance management system for SME lenders.

At the AF-PA-backed Christmas charity lunch at the Institute of Directors, a total of £30,800 was raised in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Johnnie Halliday, AF-PA chair, said: “We were thrilled to be offered the opportunity to become associated with such a traditional high point in the UK finance and leasing calendar.”

Halliday also paid special tribute to IAA chairman Derek Soper and the IAA organisation, together with master of ceremonies and fund-raising auctioneer Richard Adler.

On a combined basis the AF-PA had more than 550 attendees at three events during 2017 and raised a total of £50,800.
