National Pawnbrokers Association Annual Conference & Awards Dinner 2026
HSW & Marie Brennan - Birmingham Assay Office
HSW & Michael Suter - Cash Converters UK
Hot off the back of the NAJ awards evening, our team joined the NPA industry on Friday 09 October for their annual conference followed by the awards evening.
This was our 2nd year of exhibiting and again was both a successful and enjoyable event and evening all round. Both the NPA members and fellow exhibitors are always so welcoming and the evening entertainment was fantastic once again. In true HSW style, we enjoy a social event and the opportunity of a photo booth session!
