A firm has named a new regional sales manager for the south.

CarMoney, the automotive finance broker, is growing quickly in the UK and hopes this move will benefit car dealers and boost activity in the region.

Craig Lacey, who joins from previous stints at Harwoods and Marshall BMW, will be responsible for areas including Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton, Taunton, Devon, and Dorset.

Craig said: "I am looking forward to growing our presence in the Southern territory and playing a significant role in CarMoney’s continued success.

"My aim is to support dealers with flexible finance solutions that benefit their customers and drive sales."

The move is part of a larger expansion push from the motor finance business, which aims to reach £730 million in annual vehicle finance by 2029.

Alastair Grier, CEO of CarMoney, said: "Craig’s experience and enthusiasm will be invaluable in expanding our influence and effectiveness in the South."
