The Leasing Foundation will once again bring together a 50-strong group from across the asset finance sector to march at London Pride 2026.
Building on last year’s first-ever coordinated industry presence, this year’s march reflects the sector’s continued commitment to inclusion, visibility and support for LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends and families.
Professionals from lenders, brokers, suppliers and service providers will walk together under the Leasing Foundation banner on Saturday 4 July in London. There are currently just five wristbands remaining for anyone who would still like to take part – contact Jamie Thomas for more information.
The Foundation would like to thank all organisations supporting this year’s initiative:
Champion contributors:
- Shoosmiths
- ALFA Systems
Ally supporters:
- Close Brothers
- Novuna
Pride partners:
- Finance Connect
- Liberty Leasing
- Lombard
- Praetura
- Solaris Law
Shoosmiths will also sponsor the group’s pre-Pride gathering ahead of the march.
The initiative forms part of the Foundation’s wider EDI activity focused on helping create a more welcoming and supportive industry for everyone.
Jamie Thomas, architect at Alfa, who is co-leading this initiative, said: “Last year showed how much this meant to people across the sector and we wanted to build on that momentum rather than let it become a one-off moment. Seeing firms continue to support Pride sends a strong message that inclusion matters and that people should feel able to be themselves within our industry. We’re really proud to see the sector coming together again this year.”
