Both Ingram and Adam Wonnacott, sales director at Burlington, were confident of further growth in 2013, which has seen the launch of a debt recovery solutions package and significant expansion of its High Court Enforcement division.

"We have shifted the goalposts in terms of what a lender can expect from its agent," said Wonnacott. "New service launches like CustomerConnect, with a focus on facilitating affordable, managed payment arrangements have been well received by the motor finance industry and meet a real need to agree a sustainable way forward when our clients’ customers experience payment difficulties.

"Our capabilities as authorised High Court Enforcement Officers have also given us (and our clients) an advantage when enforcing court orders for the return of goods."
