Masthaven Bridging, which has exhibited at the NACFB for the past five years, has hailed this year’s event as the best yet.

The firm said it had over £5 million of enquiries coming from brokers visiting the stand during the day.

Richard Deacon, sales director at Masthaven Bridging, said he show was a ‘must’ for the firm.

He said: “We are very keen on getting our name and products across to the broker community so the Expo show format is a proven way of engaging with introducers and as a result we support many of the top shows. However, the NACFB Expo is always the first one we book for the year and the reasons are very simple.

“We get many more brokers who are keen to talk to us and have come with an agenda to engage, rather than just have a bit of a day out. The day is well organised and the calibre of intermediary is particularly high.

“If the NACFB decided to do more than one Expo a year we would be at every one. The value of the face to face meetings with existing and prospective introducers is invaluable and thanks to the record number of brokers coming into the Expo, we were busy from start to finish.”
