ALPHERA Financial Services has announced the appointment of Daniel Temple as Head of Sales Development.

Mike Dennett, CEO for BMW Group Financial Services and ALPHERA Financial Services, commented: “Daniel has made a great impact within his previous teams and we look forward to more of the same positivity and influence at ALPHERA. He was a driving force behind many key sales channel initiatives at BMW Group Financial Services and we cannot wait to see how he approaches his new role with our ALPHERA brand. He is well acquainted with the BMW Group and the UK retail finance landscape so has already hit the ground running.”

Daniel commented: “I’m really looking forward to being fully immersed in the ALPHERA business. I’ve worked within the retail financial services business in a variety of roles across

Operations and Sales, so bring plenty of practical, hands-on experience as well as new ideas to the table. ALPHERA is a fantastic company with a great culture and team ethos, and a real forward-thinking approach when it comes to vehicle finance. I am really looking forward to this new challenge and being part of a team that drives ALPHERA to the next level.”
