Associations FLA Director General Stephen Haddrill to leave the FLA Published: 4th October 2024 Share Stephen Haddrill, Director General of the Finance & Leasing Association (FLA), will retire next summer after five years in the role. The search for a successor will begin in due course. Commenting on his departure, Stephen Haddrill said: “I joined the FLA at the end of 2019, and during five eventful years have seen our industry’s mettle tested by a series of crises, including Covid, unprecedented political turbulence, and a cost-of-living crisis that is still being felt across the UK. “Throughout each challenge, the Association has been supported by a strong and engaged membership, and in turn the FLA team has helped the sector by further strengthening engagement with government, regulators and our other stakeholders. “I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together for customers and the industry, and I look forward to seeing the FLA thrive into the future.” John Phillipou, Chair of the FLA, added: “Stephen has shown unwavering dedication to the FLA membership, modernising the Association and building stronger links with stakeholders, all while negotiating some of the choppiest political and economic water. “He leaves the FLA on a strong footing and there is no higher praise for a Director General. “I, the FLA board, and wider membership, are grateful for his contribution and wish him all the best in his retirement.” Lisa Laverick Editor - Asset Finance Connect Sign up to our newsletter Featured Stories Associations2024-2025 NEFA Board of Directors announced AssociationsRichard Hoggart from DSG Group joins FLA Board Discretionary Commission CrisisNACFB strengthens broker support following Court of Appeal ruling
