Llanishen, Cardiff January 10, 2011 - Figures from the UK Office for National Statistics suggest that we spend more per week on transport than we do on our housing costs, fuel and power combined.* Though transport costs will include ongoing fuel and insurance costs, it’s a recognised fact a car is the second biggest purchase we will make after our home.
For these reasons, when choosing and financing your car it’s essential that you make the right decisions. Apart from finding a reputable dealer, financing your car is crucial and is a major financial decision. Many traditional banks will happily lend money to purchase a car, but it pays dividends to investigate some of the specialist finance companies that really understand the needs of consumers in this area.
( http://www.carlylefinance.com ) Carlyle Finance has nearly 40 years of specialist car finance experience. Established in Cardiff as a small local firm the business developed a sound reputation for its customer focus and its thorough understanding of the niche. In 2006 the company was acquired by a subsidiary of the First Rand Bank of South Africa. Continuing to operate from its headquarters in Cardiff, the company has lost none of its independence as a result of this acquisition. The only major effect on the company has been positive: still operating in a market that it knows in depth, the company now has the added benefits that come with the backing of a major international financial player.
Since its inception the company has sought to build strong links with car dealerships, both large and small, across the whole of the UK. It is the company’s commitment to strong customer service and lasting relationships that have allowed them to develop these links with dealerships of all sizes throughout the country, giving the company widespread coverage and offering consumers access to their specialist service on a national basis.
The values at the heart of ( http://www.carlylefinance.com ) Carlyle Finance mean that they have a thorough understanding that each customer is an individual and will have specific needs and circumstances. Many a company will offer testimonials from satisfied customers, but Carlyle Finance can go a step further, recent awards include ‘Asset Finance Company of the Year’ awarded by Credit Today, and they were recently chosen as finalists by ‘Motor Trader’ in their 2010 Industry Awards.
These awards are an astounding achievement in a highly competitive industry in which the big high street players can easily afford to take business from the smaller providers. It is a testament to the strength of the team at Carlyle Finance that they continue to grow and develop their services in a tough economic climate.
The services that ( http://www.carlylefinance.com ) Carlyle Finance can offer are available throughout the country from many car dealerships. However, if you prefer to go to them direct, they also have an excellent and user friendly website. The focus on the customer is apparent from the outset, with customer surveys and easy and transparent contact information. Just a brief glimpse at their services available through the website will confirm that Carlyle truly understand the needs of their customers.
