Barney Drake, commercial director at y3s, has been appointed to the board of the Association of Finance Brokers.

Paul Carley of First Choice Finance has also been re-elected, for small firms, with Darke covering medium size firms. Elections for large firms are still open.

Robert Sinclair, director of the AFB, says: “These are challenging times for the industry and the wider economy and it is more important than ever that the industry has a strong trade body representing its interests with regulators, politicians and the media.

"However, we are only as strong as our members make us. That is why it is vital we have engaged members who are willing to serve on the Board. The secured loans industry faces a number of key challenges this year and sitting on the AFB Board offers a great opportunity to influence the future shape of our industry.”

To stand for election, full AFB individuals had to complete a nomination form and be nominated by two members from the same constituency.

Drake, says: “It’s an honor to be part of the AFB team who are consistently at the forefront of regulatory issues, especially during these difficult times. I am looking forward to becoming actively involved in representing the medium sized brokerage constituency for hopefully many years to come."
