Chris Leslie elected to FENCA board

Leslie was elected today (27 June) at FENCA’s Annual General Meeting in Berlin. 

FENCA represents the interests of the European credit management, debt collection and debt purchase sector on the European level.

It co-ordinates the exchange with the institutions of the European Union, stakeholders in the European financial services industry, consumer groups and the European public.

Commenting on his election, Leslie stated: “Just as consumers, businesses and financial services transcend national borders, so too do the policy issues facing the collections and debt purchase sector. Which is why I am very pleased to have been elected to serve as a board director on FENCA where I can continue to bring a UK voice to the wider European table.

“While there are big initiatives affecting Non-Performing Loans (NPLs), and consumer credit is under discussion in Europe, there is also a need to monitor and interpret new regulatory change that can affect UK firms.

“Despite Britain’s departure from the EU it is important that UK perspectives are still in the mix.

“I’d like to thank our head of policy at the CSA, Henry Aitchison, for fulfilling this role with FENCA until this recent AGM and hope to take the baton forward in the same spirit.”
