It said that the move would result in quicker response times, improved customer satisfaction and first contact resolutions.

The lender noted that a recent dealer satisfaction survey it ran found that access to a team that understands the dealers’ business, are the key factors most likely to be seen as important when dealers choose a financial provider.

Paul Kaye, sales and marketing director, Close Brothers Motor Finance said: “The move means that there will be two teams allowing us to be able to focus on where we are already strong – delivering outstanding customer service, as well as our underwriting and our dealer servicing.”
