Neil Baxendale: Managing Director
The events industry is incredibly exciting and I have been delighted to build many life-long relationships with businesses in this sector. The first piece of equipment I financed, after entering the asset finance industry over 20 years ago, was a marquee.
In the 7 years that followed, I became well established and known as the go-to marquee finance broker and since then have gone on to fund a wide variety of event equipment, including audiovisual equipment, generators and outdoor cinema screens. I now enjoy working with a huge range of businesses throughout the hospitality and leisure sectors.
I particularly enjoy working closely with start ups and watching them grow into successful companies. It is very rewarding and I am lucky to have made some wonderful friends over the course of my career with customers and suppliers alike.
