Automotive Compliance has appointed Phil Harding, previously with iVendi, in a newly created role of National Sales Director as it embarks on a big year in supporting motor dealers with the new FCA Consumer Duty and multiple product launches during 2023.
Paul Guy, Co-Founder and Director of Automotive Compliance said “The appointment is timely and key to our plans. During 2023, we will be expanding our market-leading line-up with a broad selection of new and innovative compliance focused offerings and integrations to both our own Appointed Representative (AR) network and to FCA Directly Authorised motor dealers.
“Complimenting the new FCA Consumer Duty rules in making the customer physical and online journey more transparent. We will also be re-igniting the sales of insurance backed products to the dealership’s portfolios, with a pioneering process offering, that will see the dealers bottom line increase without adding any regulatory risk to their business.”
Paul Speakman, fellow Co-Founder and Director added: “We are excited for 2023, with the opportunities that will see us bring even greater benefit to the motor dealer using our already established market leading FCA Compliance, along with our enhanced product and services line up to compliment this.”
“Phil’s excellent industry reputation and his background in sales and marketing was exactly what we were looking for to help drive Automotive Compliance forward and we are really pleased to have someone of his calibre who will bring a new dynamic to our team. Over the years we have largely grown our business upon referrals and a great industry reputation, Phil and the team he will be building will be more pro-active in taking to market our new forward thinking product lines.”
Harding said: “I have watched with interest the continuous growth of Automotive Compliance and am excited to join this team in a senior role as part of the Executive Committee. 2023 is a significant year for the motor industry, I think we all know how important the FCA Consumer Duty is, the problem is that some motor dealers are either not aware of the implications of this new regulation or have not done enough about it. It’s a crucial time in the industry for me to take on this position, coupled with the new offerings from Automotive Compliance, I am excited about the opportunities before us and can’t wait to get going.”
