Richard Bunn, former director of Fleetline, a division of the world’s largest leasing company Leaseplan, has joined the management team of car finance comparison site FinanceAcar.

Previously, Bunn spent 10 years with Ford Motor Company before joining Leaseplan as general manager of sales and operations for Network.

Bunn said: “The present and future of vehicle finance for both personal and small business is most definitely online.

"By providing transparency, FinanceAcar’s comparison engine is attracting online car shoppers early in their buying cycle which is good news for manufacturers, dealers and leasing companies as it enables business and personal customers to make a quicker and more informed purchase decision.

"This coupled with the media and internet experience and the successful track record of the management team made this an easy decision for me”.

Business development director Nadim Saad said: “We are very pleased to have Richard joining us as sales director where he can use his exceptional car finance experience to extend our relationships with suppliers and boost their sales.”
