He has been a director of the association since 2005 and became deputy chairman in 2009. He was voted in as chairman last November at the NACFB’s AGM in Birmingham and was officially appointed at the first board meeting of 2011, which was held last week.

Kevin Jones said: "Having been involved with the NACFB since its inception and the last five years as a main board member, I am delighted to have been voted into the chair for the next two years. A great deal of progress has been made by the Association over the past few years and my aim whilst chairman is to ensure the momentum continues and the NACFB ensures the high profile it has enjoyed over the past couple of years is maintained. 

Chief Executive, Adam Tyler, said: "I have worked alongside Kevin now since 2005 and am delighted that the board has decided to appoint him as chair. 2011 will no doubt be another challenging year for the NACFB and commercial finance brokers, so it is vital that the association has a strong board to guide its members through this difficult period."
