About the Credit Professionals Forum:
Formed in early 1991 the Forum is now over 20 years old. Over the years the Forum has widened its scope into a cross-industry community to which credit & finance professionals from all types of businesses are welcome. They meet frequently to explore the issues and opportunities within the industry.
The Forum equips members with the practical tools they need to meet the challenges of the current business environment, at a price much more affordable than training, please contact us if you wish to know the fee structures.
All Forums are designed to deliver the maximum benefit for all attendees, not only are they great value for money but they give our members the opportunity to drive the subject of the Forums. As our forums are communities not just occasional meetings, members are able to develop personal networks, in which they feel comfortable to offer support and exchange information and experiences.
The CPF provides an environment for members to:
- Share experiences and draw on each other’s knowledge.
- Develop and enhance best and new practices.
- Improve skill levels.
- Provide access to a network of like-minded professionals and relevant industry experts.
If you would like to know more about the Forum, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can view upcoming CPF events below or here.
