Last night saw MotoNovo’s Extra Mile Awards return for another year, with nine deserving award winners crowned after the afternoon’s thought leadership conference.
The lender offered an enhanced format this year, designed to help MotoNovo’s partners thrive with fresh insights from within the business, inspiring keynote speakers, and a look ahead at the trends shaping 2026.
Speakers included AutoTrader’s Nick Press and Stephen Whitton, Founder of MENable, an expert in mental health in the motor industry. The keynote speech during the evening’s awards was given by former rally champion and renowned motivational speaker Penny Mallory.
“We welcomed around a hundred dealers and brokers this year, alongside 30 of the MotoNovo senior team,” adds MotoNovo’s Director of Distribution Debbie McKay. “The expanded format – including several keynote speakers and our thought leadership conference – was a key part of recognising the excellent work done by so many of our partners during the past 12 months. It has been a uniquely tough year for everyone involved in motor finance. It’s more important now than ever before to acknowledge the underlying strength of our industry and who makes that possible: the many committed and talented dealers and brokers from across the country.”
