The Leasing Foundation has announced the launch of its Industry Insights 2025 programme, a cross-industry initiative designed to help retain and develop emerging talent in the business and asset finance sector.
Running from the fourth quarter of 2025 for 12 months, the programme is aimed at high-potential professionals working in asset finance. It offers access to other organisations in the sector to help participants broaden their understanding of the industry, build cross-company networks and support career progression.

The programme will consist of 12 in-person workshops hosted by various leading businesses. Each session, lasting around three hours, will provide participants with behind-the-scenes access to different organisations, insights into the career paths of senior leaders, and exposure to teams working on innovation in the sector.
Alex McWilliams, co-lead of the Leasing Foundation’s NextGen programme, said feedback from the previous cohort had been “outstanding” and described the sessions as “a unique development opportunity”.
“Industry Insights gives people the chance to learn about other organisations while working for their own,” she said, adding that the programme had already helped previous participants develop their careers by expanding their networks and gaining broader perspectives.
Former delegates have reported positive experiences. One described it as “a fantastic experience” that provided valuable insights into the wider business market, while another said it had “massively” supported their development and helped them progress in the industry.
