Cardiff-based Tandem Motor Finance has won a prestigious FLA ESG Award for exemplary commitment in consumer funding - one of only two awards presented at the Finance & Leasing Association’s annual dinner.

Launched in July 2022, Tandem Motor Finance has a distinctive approach to motor finance with its commitment to greener motoring and to sustainability.

Managing director Dave Briggs said: “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 the judging panel.

“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,” said Briggs. “By collaborating, as we have already seen, we can help more customers make positive, greener car buying choices and transition to lower-emission vehicles.”
