Andrew Phillips, Commercial Director commented, “Here at V12 Retail Finance, we work hard alongside retailers, supporting them in giving customers ways to pay for the things they love.


As an immersive retail experience, we’re delighted to be a part of The National Cycling Show 2024, once again as headline sponsors.

We can’t wait to work with Stephen and the team on what promises to be another stellar event.”
