Good bad luck. An oxymoron? Yeeeees. But also a pretty good description of my morning at Barcelona airport. Four hours of delays gave me something I hadn’t planned for: time to read and think. And that led me to a question I believe our industry needs to spend more time on:If innovation is there, why is investment being delayed?I leave you here a few thoughts before joining CECE Congress 2026 from 27th till 29th October in London. What’s your take? #CECE #ConstructionEquipment #AssetFinance #DLL

In just one week, I’ll be heading to the CECE Congress in London to discuss a question I’m hearing more and more: Customers still need equipment, so why are they waiting to invest? Throughout my career, I’ve seen the role financing can play in turning ambition into growth. Today, the appetite to invest remains, but customers need confidence and flexibility to take that next step. I’m looking forward to exploring what that means for our industry and hearing different perspectives at the Congress. See you there! #EquipmentFinance #AssetFinance #CECE #CustomerFinance

In a few weeks, I'll be speaking at the CECE Congress 2026 Economic Forum about what ageing equipment fleets can tell us about where the market is heading. I've spent many years looking at construction equipment, including from the asset management side. What a machine is worth, how it behaves across its lifecycle, when it makes sense to hold and when it makes sense to replace, these aren't abstract questions for me. They're the ones I work through with manufacturers, dealers and customers every day. That's the lens I'll be bringing to the Economic Forum. If you're attending, I'd welcome the chance to hear your thoughts on where the market is today, and where it’s heading. #ConstructionEquipment #AssetManagement #EquipmentFinance #CECE #CECECongress2026

“Nowadays, everybody knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Oscar Wilde wrote those words more than 130 years ago in The Picture of Dorian Gray, while living in Chelsea. As I prepare to attend the CECE Economic Forum in London, I'm struck by how relevant that insight remains today. Because every economic transaction starts with a discussion about price, yet too many discussions never move far enough beyond it. Price tells us what something costs. Value explains why it is worth investing in. And let me add a third dimension that is particularly relevant in asset finance: affordability. If price is the what and value is the why, affordability is often the how. Around these three elements revolve many of the questions facing the construction equipment sector today: utilisation, cash flow, project visibility, equipment lifecycle, and the flexibility needed to adapt as conditions evolve. Ultimately, they all contribute to one outcome: the confidence to invest. I'm looking forward to discussing these topics and exchanging perspectives with fellow CECE members, manufacturers and industry leaders over the coming days. If you're attending the forum, I'd be delighted to connect. #CECE #ConstructionEquipment #AssetFinance #DLL

We understand how construction and industrial equipment behaves over its lifecycle, what it's worth, how it depreciates, how it's used. That's why our credit decisions and terms are built around the asset, not just the paperwork.
