CREDIT Strategy has revealed the shortlist for this year’s Car Finance Awards.
It’s the second year for the event, which will bring key firms from the UK car finance market together to recognise innovators, leaders and top performers in this sector, and the winners will be revealed at a glittering ceremony at the Nottingham Belfry hotel on June 8.
New categories have been added this year, such as Best Company To Work For In Car Finance and Gamechanger, and event leader Fred Crawley said: ‘I can honestly say every minute of last year’s event was a pleasure, and I’m glad it did well enough to come back bigger and better this year. I can’t wait to celebrate with the nominees on the night!’
From the manufacturers boosting motor retail with finance campaigns, to the lenders getting even those with poor credit histories on the road, to the dealers making it all come together on the forecourt, the night will highlight brilliance in an industry rarely credited for its contribution to the UK.
