London car finance company expands to Darlington

MotorPocket, a London-based car finance firm, is expanding to the North East with the opening of a new head office in Darlington.

The company, which uses technology to make car finance accessible and understandable, was established by finance professionals with a vision of a better finance and insurance service for customers.

North East-born Chris Greener, chief executive officer, who founded the company with his sister Ros, said: “Car finance has often been an area where customers were not fully informed or the focus was more on commission and less on customers.

“We noticed an opportunity to bring a professional and genuinely customer centred approach to car finance.”

Ros added: “We are originally from Darlington, so it was a great opportunity to be able to expand to the region.

“The next few years will be a particularly exciting time in the North East with the creation of the Northern Powerhouse and focus on promoting the excellent Northern tech enterprises and knowledge.”

MotorPocket is a trading name of Acorn Money Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and was one of the first car finance brokers to achieve this status.
