The UK car finance and bike finance provider ACF Car Finance are expanding with the opening of a new branch in Livingstone. The company already have branches throughout England, including Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. The Livingston branch is their first expansion north of the border.

The company have already reported strong sales in Scotland, with the ACF brand of vehicle finance proving popular. A salesman for the firm, Michael Nicholson, reportedly commented: We exchanged contracts at the start of October, the lease on the premises was signed at 3:30 pm and we sold our first car at 3:40 pm. The first customer part exchanged an S plate Mondeo for a blue ‘04 plate Fiesta.

ACF pride themselves on their fully trained sales staff, who are experts in both car finance and bike finance. Nicholson reportedly continued: All of the sales people went through a lengthy sales training programme before the new Livingston branch opened, so to make the first sale and so quickly was fantastic. It’s great to know that we can help customers find the car and finance to suit them.
