For the fourth year in a row scores of
lessors and industry support companies from across Europe gathered
for Leasing Life’s one day vendor finance conference on
June 10.

The event was kick-started the evening before with a cocktails
party, while on the day senior lessors provided their vivid
impressions of the future of small and medium ticket leasing, and
also made suggestions about how to improve standards in vendor and
captive finance.
