The conference also allows delegates an opportunity to network with others working in factoring from around the country and to get face to face expert opinion on issues surrounding factoring. 

This event is a must for anyone working in housing management, housing finance, maintenance and asset management and anyone involved in factoring or organisations that are considering introducing this service. 

The conference takes place on 29 November and will be returning to the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow City Centre. The Grand Central Hotel is close to all transport links, including Central Station, Queen Street Station and Buchanan Bus Station. 

The delegate fee starts at £239 for members of SFHA, SHARE and GWSF (£329 for non-members) which includes attendance, lunch and all refreshments. 

However, if you book before 4 October members pay £229 and non-members pay £319.
