Neil Fender

Head of Classic Car Finance

Neil began his career in banking, mainly in the commercial sector. With over 30 years' experience in the banking world, Neil has been a classic car enthusiast, collector and user all his life. His first car was a rear engine super car Hillman Imp! He has raced, rallied and enjoyed over 100 classic cars to date. He currently enjoys his Jaguar XK120, Bristol 406 and Triumph TR3a that he purchased around 30 years ago. For Neil, the one that ‘got away’ was a Jaguar C Type. He says that unfortunately, Cambridge & Counties Bank hadn't launched Classic Car Finance in 2007, otherwise he would be driving the C Type today!

Tom Senior

Director of Classic Car Finance

Tom has been in the banking industry for over 20 years with experience in private, corporate and personal banking. Tom joined Cambridge & Counties Bank in 2015 as Director of Credit, growing the department before moving to help launch Classic Car Finance. Tom has a lifelong passion for cars that was passed down from his dad who attended F1 races with the likes of Jim Clark & Juan Manual Fangio and his desire for cars has continued. Ignoring cost and any sense of practicality, Tom would love a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 or a late model Bentley Azure class in a very refined glass, stately transport for a family of 4.
