Nathan Mollett, chair of the Leasing Foundation and head of asset finance at United Trust Bank, commented: “It’s that time of year again. We’re now accepting nominations for the Leasing Foundation 30 Under 30 index! If you are or know an exceptional person under 30 with big ambition and demonstrated impact, submit a nomination. It’s incredibly important to spotlight our dynamic community of young professionals as these are the individuals that are building the future and creating change in the industry. The younger generations are the real change-makers who have the ability to evolve the way we approach and think about finance. The 30 Under 30 is about honouring that and supporting, elevating and recognising them publicly. It shows them that their hard work is valued and seen.”
