LONDON — White Clarke Group CEO Brendan Gleeson was named “Auto Finance Personality of the Year” at the International Auto Finance Network (IAFN) annual award dinner on May 23.

The IAFN Awards dinner celebrates excellence and innovation within the automotive leasing and auto finance industries. The Auto Finance Personality of the Year award is designed to recognize an individual who has made the most noteworthy contribution to the motor finance, fleet finance, or retail auto finance industry in the last two years.

“Brendan is a visionary for the motor finance industry. He has a clear understanding of what consumers, dealers and finance companies want and need when using finance to buy their vehicles, and has set out to create a company that provides products that support this vision,” read a statement from the judges of the award. “His leadership has proven to be a key factor in the overall growth of White Clarke Group.”

White Clarke Group, a provider of end-to-end automotive and asset finance software solutions and consulting services, was also awarded the “Best Use of Technology” and the “Best Point of Sale – Motor Finance” awards.

The awards were judged by leaders in the auto finance, fleet finance, and ancillary industries and chaired by Adrian Dally, head of motor finance at the Finance & Leasing Association.
