I have been using Panel Financial’s services for over 30 years. This is testament to the excellent service provided to bodyshops throughout the UK. I signed up with Panel Financial back in the mid 90’s, when factoring wasn’t heard of, and have never regretted it. I have often wondered how we would have managed without their support.
Under Simon’s guidance I have seen Panel Financial grow from funding garages in the Midlands to funding garages in all four corners of the UK. As they have grown, they have also adapted to all the changes the industry has gone through in the 30+ years that I have known them.
As a Motorhome specialist repairer our invoices are often larger than the average repair garage. Using Panel Financial has helped us release cashflow to buy expensive parts, pay bills on time, keep on top of our accounts and thus enable the growth of our company.
Whenever we needed some advice or had a query on repairs I knew that there was always a friendly, knowledgeable member of the Panel Financial team readily available on the end of the telephone. Over the past 30+ years I have got to know and trust the staff in the office, some of whom have worked there for more than 20 years. It is a pleasure to speak with them and always feels more like speaking to friends than a business contact.
In 2026 I made the difficult decision to pass on the Garage to new owners and retire from the industry.
The new owners of Cannock Resprays have already signed up with Panel Financial and I know that they are in safe hands with them.
We’ve worked with Panel Financial for many years and they’ve become a trusted partner to our business. Their support has helped us keep cashflow stable and plan with confidence, especially during busy periods. The service is consistent, communication is clear, and when we need something sorted it gets handled quickly. They don’t feel like a supplier, they feel like part of the team. We would happily recommend them to any business looking for a reliable factoring partner.
Recently have been advised to use this company and I am very impressed with their service.
I have been using this company for over 15 years, the staff are excellent and always very helpful. Very quick on paying the invoice. 5 stars
Many thanks for the service you provide, JB
Ascotts Group have worked with Panel Financial for over 20 years and we have always had an excellent working relationship them.
They have helped us grow immensely as they have given us financial support the Sales and Bodyshop areas of our business.
They tailored a special package for us helping us with the growing needs of our business as one of the UKs leading independent dealers for new and used black taxis, as well as mechanical repairs and specialist bodywork.
Nothing is ever a problem for Panel.
I would just like to say thank you to all the Panel team for the effort they put into us and the support they given us.
