SCF vehicles will also continue to be entered into fleet sales at Prees Heath on Wednesdays and Wakefield’s Friday fleet sale.
Shaun Deacon, head of arrears management at SCF said: “Our sales programme with Aston Barclay continues to perform exceptionally well. Aston Barclay also adds additional value by working with our wider remarketing team to develop diverse remarketing strategies.”
Martin Potter, Aston Barclay’s managing director – customer, added: “I’m pleased to continue an extremely productive relationship with the team at SCF who has become a firm favourite vendor with Aston Barclay’s buyers. I look forward to the next three years being as productive as the last six.”

By GlobalDataIn December last year, Motor Finance caught up with Denton Broke, head of channel development at SCF, to discuss the launch of Your Red Car (YRC), an online marketplace for dealers to market their vehicles.
“We conducted market research, and what consumers said was that many retail sites within our industry are really noisy, with lots of flashing buttons and other things,” said Brock.
“Consumers said they don’t like that noise – they want something that’s clean. As a result, there is no advertising on YRC; it is literally a car search facility where you can search by make, model or monthly payment. We’ll also have car reviews and will be using CAP and Motorspecs data to enhance the dealer stock feed.”
