In recent years the market has seen a significant increase in credit providers and the emergence of challenger banks and fintechs has offered a new dynamic but as a long standing provider, JCB Finance ensures that the customer must always come first and centre of strategy:
Paul Jennings, Managing Director said “Knowing the customer, understanding their individual business needs and wants, understanding our sector; past, present and future is vital. We must not lose sight of this and continue to invest in our relationships with customers, less dedicated strategies are not usually sustainable and do not act in the long-term interests of customers. Winning this award is both an honour and a privilege and provides a wonderful tribute to the hard-working and enthusiastic team at JCB Finance and a sign of our long-term commitment to the customers we serve.”
