James Monks - Connected Car Finance

Hi, I'm James, and I am the Internal Sales Manager for the Connected team.

We deal with all the acceptances that we get in place for our dealers and do our utmost to convert every deal we possibly can.

I joined the motor industry in 2016 working for DSG, the parent company of CCF, and this was in a sales role. I very much enjoyed the role, but when a position became available in CCF, I jumped at the opportunity as I could see the potential for growth both as a company and personally. Since then, I haven’t looked back, and we have gone from strength to strength.

I have now been in the role of Internal Sales Manager for a year and I oversee the internal sales team and make sure we all are operating to the very best of our abilities, in my time in the role the internal team has doubled in size just highlighting the overall growth of the company.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and 2 little boys, we love going on family walks, little trips and seeing the joy on their faces when we do so is priceless. I am a huge fan of sports, with Football and Cricket being the two I prefer most. I have a season ticket at Bury and will make it down as often as I can with my Dad and my kids.

Legal Stuff

We are a credit broker and not a lender.

Connected Car Finance is a trading style of DSG Financial Services Ltd. DSG Financial Services Ltd is a company registered in England & Wales with a company number 02313903. Our VAT registration number is 322 3523 42. DSG Financial Services Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number 649675.

We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available, but no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product is right for you. We do not charge you a fee for our services. Whichever lender we introduce you to, we will typically receive commission from them (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). The commission arrangements we have in place vary, depending on how you are introduced to us and with which lender we are able to place you with. When you are introduced to us by a motor retailer, we may be paid a flat fee, regardless of the interest rate you pay, finance product, length of agreement, or amount of finance. We may also be paid a fixed rate of commission, calculated as a percentage of the amount of finance. We will always introduce you to the most suitable finance lender offering you the most appropriate finance product for your needs, and at the best interest rate possible (which is determined by the finance lender) based on the commission we are paid and by your credit profile. The amount of commission we receive and pay, and your credit profile, will impact the amounts you pay under your credit agreement. In both cases, we will pass a proportion of the commission paid to us to the motor retailer that introduced you to us. We may also be paid, and pay the motor retailer, higher commission depending on the type and age of vehicle or based on the finance product you are provided with. In these cases, commission levels vary based on the levels of work required to be undertaken by us and the motor retailer. Whilst we may receive higher levels of commission based on the finance product you are provided with, this is always based on the level of work required in relation to the particular product and we will not seek to secure finance products that are not suitable for your needs.

We may select a lender which is part of our group (Unity Auto Finance Ltd). We will only ever select this particular lender from the panel available to us if it is in your interests and is the most appropriate lender for your particular needs.
