Betteley moves to Jaguar Financial Services
David Betteley has joined Jaguar as director of the luxury
carmaker's Financial Services division.
Betteley, also currently chairman of the Finance & Leasing
Association, is a well-known figure in the motor finance world,
having held the role of vice-president at Toyota Financial Services
EMEA for over a decade until his retirement late last year.
Prior to his role at Toyota, where he helped set up the
manufacturer's Financial Services division, Betteley was managing
director of GMAC UK, a position he held for 15 months. He started
his career at Lloyds & Scottish Finance, later Lloyds
Bowmaker.
At Jaguar, he will report to Mike Wright, director of customer
services at Jaguar Land Rover.
"I am delighted to be joining Jaguar Land Rover at this
time.
"Offering optimum financial services opportunities has never
been more important, particularly in the premium vehicle segments
and I am looking forward to delivering new levels of excellence for
Jaguar and Land Rover customers," Betteley commented.
Finance for Jaguar customers is provided via a partnership with
Fiat Credit Agricole in Europe, replacing the previous Ford Credit
relationship, which was dissolved after Ford sold Jaguar Land Rover
to Tata Motors in 2008.
