    Rebecca McNeil, CEO of Close Brothers Motor Finance, is a winner of the CEO Today United Kingdom Award 2018.

    Dedicated to recognising strong and innovative leadership amongst business leaders, the CEO Today United Kingdom Awards recognise the CEOs who are leading in their respective sectors and beyond. Rebecca is the only winner in the motor industry, an acknowledgment of her innovative and forward-thinking attitude.

    Rebecca joined Close Brothers Motor Finance in April this year, and also joined the Executive Committee for Close Brothers’ Banking division. Her wealth of experience working with small businesses and lending has supported the company’s dealer-led proposition, and the company has continued to thrive under her leadership.

    Rebecca McNeil, CEO of Close Brothers Motor Finance, commented: “It’s an honour to be recognised as a CEO Today winner, and I’m extremely proud of the hard work, ingenuity, and passion of the team that I’m fortunate enough to lead. As we continue to see the motor landscape change and evolve in the UK, Close Brothers Motor Finance is leading the way in offering dealers support for their businesses and outstanding customer service. I look forward to the years ahead, enhancing our dealer relationships across the UK with the support of a wonderful team.”
