At the annual Finance & Leasing Association (FLA) dinner in London, which is the ‘blue-ribbon’ event for the finance and leasing industry attended by over 1400 people and held on February 20th, Tandem Motor Finance was recognised as the winner of the FLA ESG Awards 2024 for 'Exemplary Commitment in B2C Funding'. It was one of only two awards presented at the event.
Launched in July 2022, Tandem Motor Finance has a distinctive approach to motor finance with its commitment to greener motoring and its strong commitment to sustainability.
Managing Director Dave Briggs was delighted to receive the award, reflecting; “This award from the Finance & Leasing Association is a massive vote of confidence for our mission to help people transition to lower-emission vehicles working alongside motor retailers and intermediaries. Ideally, people will choose to buy an EV, but where price and logistical issues are barriers to this, helping car buyers to choose less polluting, greener cars is a positive step in the right direction on the road to Net Zero.”
Tandem, whose lending focus linked to vehicle emissions, broad commitment to sustainability, customer support tools, and unique CO2 KPI, clearly struck a chord with an esteemed judging panel that included Emeritus Professor Iwan Davies (Vice Chancellor, Bangor University), Martin McTague OBE, (National Chair, Federation of Small Businesses), Lauren Pamma (Programme Director, Green Finance Institute), and Jonquil Lowe (Senior Lecturer in Economics and Personal Finance, The Open University and consumer representative on FLA Lending Code Group).
Dave concludes, “ESG is becoming an ever more significant area of business focus, and this award can only help us to have more discussions with motor retailers and intermediaries seeking to expand or start their ESG journeys. By collaborating, as we have already seen, we can help more customers make positive, greener car buying choices and transition to lower-emission vehicles.”
