Now under new ownership by Astor Media, the Leasing Broker Federation has opened a survey inviting members and industry participants to help shape its next stage of development.

The Federation is asking brokers, funders and service providers to share their views on the priorities that matter most to them, as it looks to rebuild into an active and representative trade body. The short survey takes less than two minutes to complete and covers potential areas for future focus, including lobbying on key industry issues, creating a broker referral network, and the potential launch of a dedicated digital magazine or leasing market report.

Ryan Fowler, managing director at Astor Media, said: “Under new ownership, our priority is to rebuild the Federation into a useful, active and representative organisation – one that genuinely helps you do business. But that direction shouldn’t come from us alone. It should come from you.”

Astor Media completed the acquisition of the Leasing Broker Federation at the start of March, alongside the purchase of titles including Business Motoring, Business Vans, Motor Trade News and Leasing Broker News. The Federation’s redevelopment is a core part of plans to bring more value to the leasing broker community, with input from members seen as critical to the process.

Members and interested parties can take part in the survey here.

Further updates on the Federation’s plans and member initiatives will follow in the coming weeks.
