Long serving Close Brothers Motor Finance employees from across the UK have been recognised at an award ceremony at the business' Doncaster headquarters.

Alongside celebrating its 30th birthday, two Close Brothers employees have celebrated 25 years with the company.

Additionally, six six employees received their 20 year award, five had been with Close Brothers for 15 years, and another five celebrated a decade at the firm.

With its head offices located in Doncaster, the company has a strong connection to the town and calls it “home” since it opened the first branch there in 1988. It has expanded its network to 13 branches across the UK over its 30 years.

Close Brothers Motor Finance’s chief executive James Broadhead (pictured) said: “Our proposition is built around people – it’s what makes us unique in our industry – and we are extremely grateful to those who have dedicated so many years to improving business for dealers.

“It’s a testament to our company values and the enthusiasm and expertise of our branch managers that so many people are celebrating such impressive terms.

“It’s a year to be proud of for Close Brothers Motor Finance as we celebrate our 30th birthday and its fantastic to be able to recognise the incredible longevity of some of our team as part of those celebrations.”  

In addition to their awards and certificates, long-serving employees also received five days extra holiday this year.
