Richard Mayle on First Vehicle Finance


Richard Mayle

“I first set up FVF in 2004 and since then we have provided finance solutions, primarily for vehicle leasing and purchasing, from our office in Horley, Surrey. We do not provide the finance ourselves, but we are finance brokers. We broker deals between our clients and the funding providers. Although we currently have clients across the UK most come from our locality. We have felt for a number of years that there was an opportunity to establish offices elsewhere in the UK which could be as successful in their locality as we are in ours.

“We, therefore, decided to develop a franchise opportunity that will allow our franchisees to share in our success. To do this we have been working with Pam Gordon from The Franchising Centre, Europe’s leading franchise advisors.

“We officially launched the franchise in July and we have started our franchise journey in earnest. We look forward to helping and guiding prospective franchisees in their research into franchising and hope they want to discover more about the FVF Franchise.”
