Eastern Western wins new quality kite-mark for motor finance

Car buyers have always been confident of getting expert information on motor finance products from Eastern Western Motor Group – and now it is guaranteed. The company has just been awarded ‘SAF Approved’ status by the Specialist Automotive Finance scheme.

An SAF Approved kite-mark demonstrates that the business has committed to educate its staff on all the different finance products available to customers. The scheme was introduced in 2007 by the Finance & Leasing Association – the trade body for the motor finance industry – to improve finance knowledge in showrooms and give customers more confidence in their supplying dealer.

Staff in all 27 Eastern Western showrooms passed the SAF competence test after months of hard work.

“It's testament to Eastern Western’s commitment to their customers that they have become SAF Approved,” Paul Harrison, Head of Motor Finance at the FLA, said. “Car buyers across Scotland talking finance with this company can expect improved levels of competence and professionalism in those showrooms.” And Sandy Risk, Business Development Manager at Eastern Western Motor Group added: “Eastern Western Motor Group is delighted to have achieved SAF Approved. As the recognised motor industry standard, we are confident our commitment to SAF will help us to improve our performance, and more importantly give our customers extra confidence that they are receiving the best advice available on new and used car purchases.”
