Reflecting on 2024 – the benchmark for success

Last year’s award went to MotoNovo Finance, a worthy winner praised for its industry leadership and customer-first ethos. The judges recognised MotoNovo’s robust focus on compliance and their outstanding work in forbearance and customer service, which also earned them an Institute of Customer Service Award.

Debbie McKay, Commercial Director at MotoNovo, commented: “Winning this award recognises our commitment to customer excellence and our broader commitment to motor finance. Our success has been a genuine team effort.”
