    We are proud to announce that Close Brothers Motor Finance won the Bank Owned Independent Finance Provider of the Year at the Motor Finance Europe Awards in Frankfurt last night.

    Motor Finance 2017 examined the involvement of all key industry stakeholders and their contribution to the market, the effects of the access economy and mobility on the development of financing and business models, and most recently the implications of Brexit.

    James Broadhead, CEO, said “We were up against stiff competition and I’m really proud that we won this significant industry award. While we set ourselves demanding targets, and monitor ourselves against them, it is always pleasing when our efforts are externally judged and found to come out on top”.

    Paul Kaye, Sales and Marketing Director and Chris Bosworth, Director of Strategy were there to accept the award on the night.
