Motor Finance

Motor finance is a key, embedded part of the automotive industry with approximately 85% of all vehicles being financed.

More so than in many sectors where cash buyers are the biggest competitor to financing, the ability to finance a vehicle sits as the beating heart of the sector and as such continues to provide exciting career opportunities.

Our recruitment in this sector was born out of our roots in the asset finance and leasing market. We were able to leverage client relationships and work with organisations that also had a motor finance division. This has subsequently become a core market for us.

We cover most areas of motor and vehicle finance. This includes cars, HGV and LCV financing, specialist vehicles, trailers and increasingly EV's and charging infrastructure as we push towards sustainability within this sector.

The roles we recruit are predominantly sales and business development, credit and risk, pricing and asset management, operations and support, executive leadership and legal, with our geographical coverage all across the UK.

The clients we work with range from banks with their own motor and transportation finance division, manufacturer finance companies, contract hire and leasing specialists and prestige car finance providers. We also work with key fleet providers encompassing both SME and corporate funders.

The market continues to evolve and create new and different employment opportunities. With the strong push into electric vehicles and products such as car sharing and pay per use subscription models, the industry continues to refresh. Also the increasing use of technology within the sales process is leading to a changing profile of skill sets required within the business.

Our database of motor finance candidates reflects this. It is extensive, detailed and constantly updated. This enables us to move quickly and efficiently to identify suitable candidates for the roles we work on.

Our aim for the motor finance market is to work closely with candidates and clients to offer the most sought after roles in market leading companies. The close links with our asset finance and leasing specialism allows us to not only identify the best talent with existing motor finance experience but also with the ability to crossover from other sectors into motor finance.

As within our other sectors, we work with transparency and integrity, supported by our market knowledge in order to most effectively support your recruitment activity and career path.

If you are working in this sector currently or interested in transferring your skills into this dynamic industry then we would love to talk to you.
