Accelerating Car Retailer Makes Extra Room at the Top
Released on: May 09, 2011, 7:51 am Two new senior roles have been created by ACF Car Finance Limited to help manage the company's continuing success story. Divisional Sales Managers for both the north and the south of ACF Car Finance's network of vehicle showrooms will now be responsible for driving forward further expansion. The posts have been filled by managers previously in charge of regional showrooms. Peter Lloyd (52) of the company's Maidstone showroom now becomes Divisional Sales Manager of ACF Car Finance's dealerships in southern England. Meanwhile, John Parks (27) who was previously in charge of the West Midlands showroom becomes Divisional Sales Manager for the company's northern dealerships. Both men bring to their roles a wide experience within ACF Car Finance of developing and expanding their respective showroom operations. The company says it is currently recording profits substantially higher than in any previous years - and is forecasting continued long-term growth. ACF Car Finance is the UK's largest company specialising in providing vehicles and arranging car loans for people with impaired credit records. According to the company's Sales and Marketing Director, Norman Beaumont, the current economic climate is well suited to fostering further growth: "The number of people unable to obtain finance from mainstream lenders is growing all the time, and is increasingly affecting those in the upper salary brackets," said Mr Beaumont. "Until relatively recently, a few blemishes on a credit file might have been ignored - but now, many mainstream lenders are looking only for spotless borrowing records. "Being a high earner is no barrier to someone being classified as high risk," he added. The two new Divisional Sales Managers at ACF Car Finance will be responsible for implementing sales policies across the company's seven-strong dealership network. ends More press information from PR consultant Jon Boston on 01768 895 225
