The usual price of NACFB membership is £500, but the new deal, which is open to all Hitachi’s brokers, comes following feedback from last year’s offer when the membership was free to those who were not already existing members.

Hitachi also believes that as many of its brokers are in rural parts of the country and sourcing their customers from a range of market sectors, it is sometimes difficult for them to be heard among the bigger players in the industry.

Gavin Wraith-Carter, General Manager at Hitachi Capital Business Finance, hopes this offer will help to support its broker community and allow them vital industry information.

“We believe that by offering our brokers a better deal with membership to the NACFB, it will strengthen the bond within the industry and create a stronger broker community.

“Reducing the price by £250 is another example of how we at Hitachi Capital Business Finance listened to our network and extended the offer to include new and existing members.” 

Adam Tyler, Chief Executive of the NACFB, added that it recognised the importance membership played to ensure the broking community was as broadly represented as possible.

“There are still many brokers who are not yet members and missing out on having their views represented.

“Hitachi Capital Business Finance’s commitment to paying £250 of the year’s membership fees for all their brokers is an acknowledgement of the importance of the role that NACFB plays in their industry and how we are able to support them.”
