Drake elected for AFB Board

Commenting on the elections, Robert Sinclair, director of the AFB, said it was more important than ever that the industry had a strong trade body representing its interests with regulators, politicians and the media.

He explained: “However, we are only as strong as our members make us. That is why it is vital we have engaged members who are willing to serve on the Board. The secured loans industry faces a number of key challenges this year and sitting on the AFB Board offers a great opportunity to influence the future shape of our industry.”

To stand for election, full AFB individuals had to complete a nomination form and be nominated by two members from the same constituency.

Drake said he was looking forward to becoming actively involved in representing the medium sized brokerage constituency for many years to come.
