The past few years have been a real test for everyone, and the collections industry is no different. We’ve had to navigate the challenges of the pandemic and lock down, the fall-out of trying to return to life as normal with disrupted supply lines, uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and the war in Ukraine amplifying the cost-of-living crisis, not to mention the impact of the growing statistics surrounding mental health issues.
When it comes to designing a productive way forward, industry conferences can play an essential role to help our sector to grow. It has probably never been more important to consolidate our collective knowledge for us to share best practice, identify risk both now and in the future, and explore ideas and solutions.
We’re therefore delighted to announce that on Thursday March 2nd we’re returning to The Met Hotel (Leeds), for our latest and greatest industry insider event to date; ‘Elevating Collections In 2023‘.
We’re bringing together some of the greatest minds in the industry, and this year’s event looks set to be the best yet with money can’t buy insight and expertise shared throughout the day.
Our line-up of guests includes:
- Chris Metalle, the Chief Financial Officer at KM2 Ethical Finance Ltd
- Sam Challenger, the Head of Collections & Customer Experience at Billing Finance Limited
- Sheraz Afzal, our Board of Directors Advisor and Group Legal, Risk and Compliance Director at Quint Group Ltd
- Stuart Sykes, the Vice President of Service Operations at Zilch
- Tony Gundersen, the Head of Operations at Onmo
- And representatives from: MALG, Equifax and TXM
The event will explore flexibility in the industry, engagement and we’ll deep dive into what customers want in today’s volatile economic environment.
Topics that will be covered:
- The here-and-now of collections and an overview of the environmental factors impacting our industry.
- Mental Health, how does it impact us and what can we do for our clients and customers?
