About Us
Automotivate Group provides commercial vehicle sourcing, bespoke conversions and fitouts, and fleet management, alongside FCA-regulated leasing and finance solutions. Following our acquisition by Trek-Group in 2025, we're expanding our asset finance capability to support both our own vehicle sales and the wider Trek group of companies — offering funding solutions that go beyond what pure van broker competitors can provide.
Role Purpose
We're looking for a proactive, relationship-driven Asset Finance Manager to grow our motor and plant finance offering to SME businesses. This role sits at the heart of our commercial proposition — supporting Automotivate's own vehicle sales pipeline while also developing funding routes to market across the wider Trek group and its franchise partner network. Deep technical finance knowledge is not a prerequisite — we'll provide product and funder training. What matters most is a proactive, tenacious approach, genuine comfort operating in B2B environments, and the drive to build and maintain relationships with funders, brokers, and franchise partners alike.
