Car finance firm drives on with 'important' new base

An automotive financial services firm says it is in gear for growth with a “major milestone” office expansion.

Car Finance 247 is opening a Bournemouth base.

Bosses say the move – which marks the company’s first hub outside Manchester – will create jobs “quickly” as it bids to meet “growing customer demand”.

They add the sales hub – inside a former Liverpool Victoria headquarters building in Westbourne – will open in September.

Car Finance 247, which employs more than 500 staff, has operated from Manchester since launching in 2006.

Louis Rix, chief operating officer, said: “Opening our first office outside Manchester is an important step and reflects the scale of our ambitions.

“Bournemouth offers access to a strong talent pool, and we already have colleagues based in the area.

“As the business continues to grow, it made sense to establish a permanent base that allows us to attract and develop more sales talent.”
