Yesterday at the Finance Connect Conference in London, Compass featured in Asset Finance News’ In Focus - a series of rapid-fire interviews by Christian Roelofs with asset finance newsmakers, going beyond the headlines to explore the detail and implications behind recent announcements.

During the session, our co-founder and director, Mark Nelson, discussed our acquisition of Industrial Equipment Finance Ltd.

For our customers, this is about strengthening the support we provide. Industrial Equipment Finance has built a strong reputation helping engineering businesses access funding alongside machinery damage and breakdown insurance, supporting both their investment and day-to-day operations.

By bringing this expertise into Compass, we’re enhancing our ability to offer more joined-up, practical solutions tailored to how our customers’ businesses actually run.

He states: "I’m looking forward to getting stuck in, coming alongside businesses and helping them access the funding they need to develop their plans.”

It was great to have Robert Rowe from The Printing Charity join us at our company meeting yesterday.

His talk really struck a chord, especially as we’re marking Mental Health Awareness Week. Rob shared some honest insights into the challenges people face in our industry, along with the brilliant support that’s available - something that’s so important to keep front of mind.

At Compass, we believe looking after our people is just as important as looking after the businesses we support. Conversations like this help keep wellbeing on the agenda and remind us all to look out for one another.

Thanks again to Rob for taking the time to speak with us 😍
