“Friday Forum is brilliant. Please attend if you can. I’ve attended most of them over 4 years now. Advisors and creditors having open discussions.”

“Thank you for [having me at the MALG Friday Forum] yesterday! It was a really interesting session and I am looking forward to seeing some more detail from the slides. I just find it amazing how you keep hitting the spot in terms of relevance and then quite lively debate!”

“The MALG National Members Meeting in May was really excellent, I enjoyed the speakers very much. The networking was so good, I spoke to some incredible people and made some excellent connections. Thank you for organising such a great meeting.”

“It’s good to talk and MALG is a great forum for getting people together. Long may it continue!”

“MALG ‘s forward thinking approach on age old problems and new issues enables members to be on the front foot on how they manage and deal with their clients’ needs and demands. MALG’s ability to showcase the social and stigmatic problems consumers face when in debt has helped member organisations better equip and prepare themselves. MALG’s continuous efforts to forge synergies has helped improve better relations between the advice and creditor sector, making the consumer a direct beneficiary.”

“It is very important as an industry trade body to engage and work alongside MALG and other industry stakeholders to learn and be kept up to date on money advice sector matters so that we can share these learnings with our member companies.”

“I am new to MALG meetings. Although my role at London Borough of Barnet does not bring me directly into contact with clients who are in debt and I do not work in debt recovery for Barnet, my manager also manages Barnet Council’s Welfare, Council tax, Business rates and Overpayment recovery teams and has asked me and a colleague from the Quality Assurance team to attend the fortnightly MALG meetings and report back to him on any key issues. I found the topics, speakers at the Regional Members Meeting event useful and very informative and intend to join the Friday Forum meetings as often as I can.”

“Well worth attending [the MALG Friday Forum] this morning. Genuine Open Forum in a cross section professional atmosphere, freedom to say what you like & raise the issues of the day, a handy CPD point as well.”
