The big fear, widely recognised, is that many BBLS loans will not make it to repayment, leaving lenders mired in having to exhaust all other means before being able to call on the Government’s guarantee. Added to which, it is uncertain to what extent traditional remedies like forced termination or equipment repossession will be allowed, in the current spirit of forbearance. EDITORIAL Bouncing back? The financial press reports that the Treasury has started work on ways to tackle the potential debt problem, and its conclusions will feed into the Chancellor’s Autumn budget. That’s a short deadline and should be an early warning signal to our industry lobbyists to clearly communicate to the authorities the protections essential to asset finance lessors, so they don’t get left in the all too familiar lessors’ limbo. This month’s cover feature shows how one of the industry’s bigger names, Jan Szmigin Shawbrook Bank, has shifted gears to keep pace with the rate of change. Publisher “Lockdown measures hit a host of sectors very hard, very fast,” says T: +44 (0) 7803 389669 Shawbrook Bank’s Chris Richold, putting a finger on the two aspects of the E: [email protected] current crisis that have proved particularly tough to accommodate, and as Chris adds, “The structure of the loan schemes will also create a number of pinch points over the next twelve months.” In our Motor Finance section we note a general feeling that we’re through the worst of things, though some might say that it couldn’t have got any worse. The FLA’s Adrian Dally’s view is, “Touch wood, one must assume the markets are going North from here!” and June’s FLA statistics will tell us if we are indeed bouncing back. Despite lockdown easing and the first stirrings of a return to office life, Robin Skuse we’ve taken the decision to reschedule our Sky Garden Customer Service Editor Excellence event to next year, to 27 April 2021. But that does not mean T: +44 (0) 7721 727554 E: [email protected] that 2020’s service excellence stars will go unrecognised, as we are still be running the 2020 Customer Service Excellence competition this year, and inviting entries. You’ll find more details on how we’re doing it on page 29. Sadly, the leasing industry lost Sean Williams last month. Sean had a massive impact on a whole generation of young asset finance professionals, one of whom, Nathan Mollett, now Director at Metro Bank Asset Finance, recalls, “I could barely keep up with him even in my early twenties! The legend that is Sean “Curly” Williams lives on in all of those who were lucky enough to work with him.” Lord Parry Mitchell has thoughtfully penned his own memories of, and tribute to, Sean Williams on page 17. n Allan Foad Contributing Editor E: [email protected] JAN SZMIGIN [email protected] City Slicker City Chatter column E: [email protected] www.leasingworld.co.uk VOL 13 I NO 150 2020 3 UK NEWS ➔ IN BRIEF Asset finance market falls PARAGON WORKING WITH HITACHI by 60pct in May 2020 CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY igures published by the Finance & Economist at the FLA, said, “The asset Specialist SME lender Paragon is working FLeasing Association (“FLA”) show finance market reported its lowest level with excavator supplier Hitachi Construction that total asset finance new business of new business for more than 13 years Machinery (UK) Ltd (“HCM UK”) to provide (primarily leasing and hire purchase) fell in May, with the vehicle finance sectors support for UK businesses. by 60pct in May 2020 compared with the continuing to be hardest hit by the same month in 2019. lockdown restrictions.

    4th edition | july 2017 market intelligence A new year and a new economic beginning. Were you letting off introduction fireworks on 31st January or shedding a tear? Whatever your views, democracy seemed to be the real winner. Certainly our clients, who are a vibrant mix of international entities, seem happier and more confident given the closure and short term certainty this has provided. Yes, the transition period will be a difficult ride but recruitment wise the start of the year has begun in an encouraging manner. We have noticed 3 “hotspots” of activity, Credit Risk, Commercial Real Estate Finance and Trade & Commodity Finance respectively. As reported last quarter, the main concentration remains in the £50-80k basic salary level, so typically your Associate, Manager and AD levels. Turning to this quarters hot topic a big thank you as always for all your views and responses. We had a far higher number of responses than usual, apologies we can only publish a snapshot. In short summary while Mental Health issues are very real it appears that the Financial Services sector needs to do far more. Enjoy the piste – if you are heading to snowy peaks, and let’s hook up again at Easter (post bonus season)… when I’ll be wondering again… were you letting off fireworks or shedding a tear? These questions reflect our most common enquiries and quarterly survey so this regular feature is a chance to measure and share current market sentiment.
