Car finance software provider Frontline Solutions has moved its annual F&I Conference and Awards Dinner to early in 2014 to make room for more representation from captives, insurers and other companies from the technology sector.
The event, which has taken place in October or November in recent years, is being moved as the company has experienced "an extremely successful and very busy year," according to Andy Shuter, managing director of Frontline.

Shuter is confident the conference will be the "best ever" and has found a "fantastic venue" for it, with the company enlisting an events management team to assist with organisation.
‘Up a notch’
"Rather than rush things to put something on for October, we took the decision to curtail until next year," said Shuter, who expects the event to take place in March, with an announcement in the next few weeks.
The third annual F&I Conference and Awards Dinner, held in 2012, drew together speakers from brokers, law firms, debt managers, and multiple industry experts, before an awards ceremony which saw commendations for DSG Financial Services, Moneybarn, Stoneacre Motor Group, Concept Car Credit and Marsh Facilities Management, among others.
