Hi, I'm Dave and I cover the North West Region
I started out my working life in retail banking and fell into the motor finance business by chance. Having left the bank after five years to travel, I returned some two and a half years later skint and in need of a job! I was offered a job with a motor finance broker in their contract hire department, and as they say, the rest is history.
Nineteen years later and my background in the motor finance industry covers everything
From contract hire, corporate finance, sales support, non-prime sales, payouts and management. This broad knowledge of the industry allows me to offer my dealers the best advice and service possible, as well as bridging the gap between sales and office politics.
I love meeting new people and helping both new and established dealers grow their businesses. I take a very hands-on approach by assisting dealers with their finance proposals from start to finish. I also help with their social media, website and finance calculators to ensure they have everything they need to reach new and existing customers.


When I am not working, you will find me spending quality time with my family or out riding my motorbike. My wife often jokes that she’s not sure which I enjoy most… a little white lie won’t hurt her, though! I joined Connected Car Finance knowing they were part of an industry leader in DSG. When I learned Connected Car Finance were looking for a Dealer Connector in my area, I jumped at the chance. It was just the opportunity I had been waiting for to inject the passion back into my career.
