Year to date, AFPA has supported 17 charities with over £45,000 of donations – thank you to all that have contributed and attended our events.”

Deputy Chair Aysha Ellis-Aziz added: “It’s truly inspiring to see the asset finance and leasing community come together again to support such a deserving cause. We’re thrilled with the outcome and already looking forward to our next flagship event in December!”
