International Leasing & Asset Finance Network
theLeaseBlog.com....a new beginning ?
Let's turn the clock back 3 years, a time when the financial services sector was still very sure of itself and could do no wrong....do you remember those days?
Well 3 years ago, a new web service was conceived, a service that would create networking opportunities for everyone in the leasing industry, not just the principals or executives but everyone, regardless of function, seniority or country. An inclusive network where everyone had a voice.
This was the vision behind theLeaseBlog.com, which started life as a Blog and then quickly developed into a full function online business network. It quickly became a major web destination for over 2,000 members and many more interested parties, who connected with fellow like minded professionals, shared ideas and thoughts, looked for help locating funding sources and reviewed the job board and leasing directory.
theLeaseBlog was the first Leasing inspired network/group on Linked-in, Plaxo, Xing and facebook....and has led the way in online networking for our industry, inspiring many copy-cat groups who are now propogating themselves on the online networks.
The key question I have been asking myself is:
How should theLeaseBlog develop further ?
..... innovation, speed and enthusiasm has always made it more nimble than the traditional magazine based journals....a positive side effect of running the site from my spare room, without any corporate governance.
However, with constraints now on my time, I feel the time has come to pass the baton onto someone who can provide the energy and drive to maintain theLeaseBlog as the premier online leasing community and to develop it further in the years ahead.
Therefore, with mixed feelings, I have decided to sell theLeaseBlog.com and am now searching for the right person/organisation, who shares the same passion for our industry and can develop the community going forward.
Interested parties can contact me on either my e-mail editor@theleaseblog.com or call me on +44 (0)7917 686 921.
It has been a wonderful experience and I thank everyone who has supported my efforts over the last 3 years....you know who you are and there are too many of you to mention by name.
Many thanks
