Adam Tyler, chief executive of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers, is to stand down after 11 years at the helm.
Seconded from NatWest in 2005 Adam Tyler joined the NACFB when it was in its infancy and helped guide the orgnaisation from a membership of 400 to over 1600.
Tyler has made a major contribution to the Association's success and enhanced its recognition within Westminster, its reputation with the Regulator and its national profile over his tenure.
After 11 years of service the NACFB said: "Adam Tyler has a new challenge on the horizon, one that means he will be able to spend more quality time with his wife, Julie and the family rather than weeks away at a time from home catching trains, planes and travelling the length and breadth of the UK meeting with our members and Patrons to promote and further the Associations cause.
"We are therefore announcing that Adam Tyler will be leaving the Association with effect from 31 December 2016. We are sure you will join the Board both past and present in thanking him for his work over the years and wishing him all the very best for the future."
Association Chairman, Paul Goodman added: "The NACFB and I wish Adam well for his future endeavours and I am looking forward to working with Adrian Coles, my vice chairman, and the rest of the Board ‎during this next chapter of the Association's history."
