The Leasing Foundation launches Industry Insights 2025 programme
The Leasing Foundation today announced the launch of its Industry Insights 2025 programme – a cross-industry initiative focussed on retaining and developing rising talent in the business finance sector.
Running for 12 months from Q4 2025, the programme is aimed at high-potential professionals in the asset finance sector and provides unique access to businesses beyond their own. The goal is to broaden perspectives, enhance career development and build lasting cross-industry networks.
Participants will take part in 12 face-to-face workshops hosted by leading organisations, each lasting around three hours. These sessions offer a behind-the-scenes look at diverse businesses, insight into the career journeys of senior leaders and introductions to teams driving innovation across the sector.
Alex McWilliams, co-lead of the NextGen programme at the Leasing Foundation, commented: “The feedback from our most recent cohort has been outstanding – they found the programme eye-opening, energising and invaluable for building their networks. Industry Insights gives people the chance to learn about other organisations while working for their own – and that’s a unique development opportunity. The connections and conversations sparked during these sessions have already helped participants grow their careers.”
Past delegates have said: “The Industry Insights Programme was a fantastic experience. It gave me the opportunity to network with some truly inspiring professionals in my field and provided valuable insight into the wider business market. I walked away with a broader perspective and connections that will be incredibly useful for my future career.” Lauren Gibney, Novuna Business Finance
“The Industry Insight Sessions have been such a fantastic experience. I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people from all corners of the industry, gaining knowledge and perspectives I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I’m really grateful to have been part of it and honestly, I’m a little sad that it’s over! It’s helped my development and progress in the industry massively.” Georgie Major, Victor Finance
“The Industry Insights sessions were a fantastic development opportunity for both my personal development and network within the industry. Every session was beneficial, getting the opportunity to speak with and question multiple c-suite individuals across lenders and brokers gave a fresh perspective I will continue to be grateful for. The group were also brilliant and I look forward to seeing everyone progress in the industry moving forwards. 10/10 would recommend!” Jamie Bridson, Aston Commercial Finance
The cost of the programme is £750 for one person and £1300 for two people from the same organisation.
