Vehicle finance specialist Singer & Friedlander has gone into partnership with Matrix, the Stoke-based motor finance broker, to offer S&F Finance dealer customers access to the sub-prime market with a 'one-stop-shop' offering.

Any sub-prime business from S&F Finance is passed directly to Matrix's sales team for placement through its panel of lenders specialising in sub-prime finance.

Miles Roberts, S & F Finance assistant director, said: "Until now dealers have had to use separate sources for prime and sub-prime business. The one-stop-shop philosophy not only increases the level of customer service we can provide, Matrix's expertise means dealers will get the best possible finance package."
