Two executives at ACF Car Finance in Maidstone have been promoted to top management jobs within the business.

Having excelled in the role of sales manager for three years, Doug Browne becomes dealer principal, while senior sales executive Steve Everard steps up to take Browne’s old job.

Browne first joined ACF in 2005 as sales executive based at the company's Dunstable showroom. In the same year Everard joined the Maidstone branch shortly after it opened.

Specialising in vehicles and loans for people whose credit record won't allow borrowing from major lenders, ACF says referrals from other motor dealers are accounting for a growing percentage of its trade.
