\u201cIt was another fantastic night at the Car Finance Awards for the Group, and yet more recognition for the outstanding work colleagues across\u00a0all of\u00a0our brands continue to deliver. Winning two awards – Best Service for Dealers and Best Innovation for Dealer in a Box \u2013 was amazing. What makes this recognition even more meaningful is that it comes from a judging panel made up of peers, lending\u00a0partners\u00a0and industry experts. Everyone across the business should feel incredibly proud of what\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0achieved together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The judges also recognised the extraordinary growth of Evolution under Lee\u2019s leadership\u00a0–\u00a0from a specialist automotive finance intermediary into the UK\u2019s largest used auto finance platform\u00a0–\u00a0while noting that despite the scale of that success, he has remained incredibly humble and always focused on the people around him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
