In response to his appointment, Halil remarked, “Northridge Finance has long been a respected provider of financial services for over six decades, and I am thrilled to take on the role of managing director, guiding the organisation through its next phase. The motor finance industry is currently experiencing a period of immense excitement, and I eagerly anticipate collaborating with the team to offer innovative and sustainable solutions, establishing ourselves as a robust, dynamic, and customer-centric business.”
