ALEP Honorary Secretary Alex Greenslade said “it makes all those involved with ALEP incredibly proud that after only 3 years of existence our association accounts for over half of the possible winners at the second annual ERMAs. A pillar of ALEP membership is the need for members to prove that they are ethical, professional and experienced. This result at the awards shows that a panel of their peers agrees that they do indeed represent the cream of enfranchisement professionals”.
