Shawbrook to acquire JBR Auto Holdings

Shawbrook Group plans to broaden its portfolio by buying specialist motor finance lender JBR Auto Holdings.

The acquisition not only broadens Shawbrook's offering within the regulated motor finance sector but also reinforces its commitment to provide finance to customers in the high-end vehicle market.

Marcelino Castrillo, chief executive at Shawbrook said: “JBR’s extensive knowledge of this specialist segment within the wider motor finance market is exceptional. Aligning the business to Shawbrook’s ‘best of both’ approach, combining technology with deep human expertise, this acquisition will help us to extend the JBR proposition to more customers who value a premium experience, flexibility, and certainty when securing finance for their high-end vehicles.”
