    Putting our partnership at the heart

     

    Partnership is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re really proud that this ethos has been recognised in what has been a record breaking, multi-award winning year for us.

     

     

    Throughout the year, we were shortlisted for six awards, including:

    • Best Car Finance Provider at the Consumer Credit Awards
    • Best Service for Dealers and Best Independent Lender at the Car Finance Awards
    • Finance Provider of the Year at both the Motor Trader Independent Dealer and Motor Trader Industry Awards
    • Digital Transformation at the Marketing Week Awards

     

    Fantastically, we were successful in taking home five other awards. Wins included:

    • Two innovation awards at the Car Finance Awards and Car Dealer Power Awards
    • Finance Provider of the Year at the Car Dealer Power Awards
    • Independent Provider and Best Pandemic Response at the Motor Finance Europe: Conference and Awards

     

    Individual industry awards were also presented to three of our colleagues, including:

    • Inspiring Automotive Women Awards to Becky Hughes, Account Manager, and Mandy Smith, Senior HR Business Partner
    • Transformation of the Year to Jill Hood, Retail Marketing Director 
    • The Lifetime Achievement Award to Seán Kemple, Managing Director of Motor and Premium

     

    It’s been really fantastic to see the hard work of our colleagues recognised and to know that the work we put in supporting our partners and customers has been effective. 


    Thank you, once again, for your continuing partnership this year. We wouldn't have achieved such success if it wasn't for your ongoing support. Here's to 2023 and it hopefully being another successful year for us all!
