About the employer

In short collaboratively and for the long-term! The evidence of this ethos is the large number of dealers with whom we have worked for over ten years and who value our service-led approach. We have long found that working side-by-side with dealers, their customers and our finance suppliers for shared success is the way to go. Transparency and fairness may now be enshrined into the requirements of our industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) but for us, these have always represented the route to long-term success and the creation of a reputation of which we are very proud. We work continuously to link the most appropriate finance option to each customer. In striving to help every customer to finance the car they want, we are ever-mindful that we have a responsibility to ensure that the debt is something they can afford and that the risk to the finance provider is an acceptable one. In such occasions, dealers rely upon our authenticity; they know that we have done our utmost to establish a solution and that a recommendation not to proceed is only delivered where we earnestly believe finance is unlikely to be in the interests of all parties.
