ANOTHER GREAT PKF NETWORKING EVENING
AT THE SKY LOUNGE, LEEDS!

Our Leeds Networking Evenings have always been very popular and this year was no exception. A really interesting mix of payments people came together for what was probably our most successful event to date. Notable new participants like Hyosung, Michelin Connected Fleet and Jet2. Old friends such as HPE and Worldpay returning in numbers. And, of course, regulars such as Mastercard, Diebold Nixdorf, Global Payments, Cennox and many others.

Particular thanks are due to our sponsors, Comforte and IR, who have both been highly supportive of the Payments Knowledge Forum over many years. We couldn't do this without them.

There was general agreement that we need to run these events more often and that we should aim to hold another PKF Networking Evening in the spring in London. So watch out for news of that!

At comforte, in a nutshell, we identify, locate and protect our customer’s confidential, or Personally Identifiable (PII) data and cardholder data (PCI) from external attacks and hacking, whilst minimising internal mis-use or fraud by so-called ‘Insider attacks’. In addition, we allow our customers to unlock the full value of the data that they hold, facilitating data analytics etc. down to granular level without compromising security.

We have over 500 customers worldwide, including Government Departments, commercial organisations, banks, retailers, insurance companies and the like, but increasingly we protect smaller and smaller companies as more organisations seek to take data protection seriously.
