MotoNovo To Create Over 500 Cardiff Jobs

MotoNovo, a car finance specialist, is expanding its business in a move which will create more than 500 graduate jobs, management positions and other roles in Cardiff.

With £3 million support from the Welsh Government, the niche insurance firm will add around 580 new full or part time positions at Number One Central Square in the city, with some of the new roles set to be graduate positions in Cardiff. The employees will be spread over 5 floors and 6,600 square metres and more positions could be added in the future.

MotoNovo, owned by FirstRand, a South African company, will take on the new staff over a period of five years, more than doubling its workforce in Cardiff from a headcount of just over 400 to more than 1,000 by 2021.

MotoNovo Finance’s chief executive, Mark Standish, put much of their success down to the people who work for them, saying “Over recent years, we have demonstrated sustained growth, both in volumes and in reputation, not least of all as a high calibre employer having been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Companies to Work For. Our greatest strength is the people who make up ‘Team MotoNovo’ and having led the business for 16 years.”

Edwina Hart, the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, said the MotoNovo move was ‘great news for Wales’ due to the number of jobs it will create in Cardiff.

“It is a strong vote of confidence in Wales and what it can offer companies looking to grow their businesses. It is a clear indication that our policies and strategies to make Wales one of the largest centres for the financial services sector outside of London are having a real impact. I am delighted that Welsh Government support helped secure this strategically important investment project for Wales and the jobs it will create,” said Ms Hart.
