Close Motor Finance has announced a major investment in its motorcycle division aimed at further improving the service provided to their dealer partners.

Close‘s new motorcycle division will have five motorcycle sector specialists working exclusively on bike business, with a 15-strong experienced support team with motorcycle industry knowledge in the background.

Chris Reid, who heads up the Close Motor Finance motorcycle division, explains that the unique requirements of the motorcycle market required a dedicated team:“At Close Motor Finance we’re always looking for ways to improve our service to dealer partners and add value to their business. Our new offering sets us apart from the competition as dealers will always work with specialists who know everything there is to know about motorcycles, including underwriting and account management. Our dealer partners can also be assured that their assigned specialist’s sole focus will be on bikes.”

Close partnered with the Motorcycle Industry Association to deliver training to the dedicated motorcycle team. Steve Kenward, CEO of the Motorcycle Industry Association says; “Through the MCI Close Motor Finance has access to all the latest developments within the industry regarding legislation, licensing, training, safety, market trends and insight into understanding motorcycling communities. This information is delivered through MCI induction training days and an ongoing relationship with the Association.”

Chris Reid says that all of the changes will be integrated into the business without disruption to its dealer partners: “We have been working hard over the last number of weeks to ensure our dealer partners are up to speed with the new arrangements and that there is no disruption to their daily business. All our existing dealers have, or are currently in the process of, meeting their new team and it is a move that has been hugely welcomed.”
