This relationship has opened doors into a fresh market sector for Hitachi Capital Business Finance - the holiday home and park home market - and has the potential to offer cross-group finance in the future.

Omar decided that they needed a stock finance funder to provide a major cash flow advantage for their dealers through a longer financing program. Hitachi is providing a stocking facility with two programs for show/stock units (270-day program) and retail-sold units (180-day program).

Earlier this year, the Omar Group were among only 150 British businesses to have been selected as one of 1,000 Companies to feature in the London Stock Exchange Group’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Europe; a landmark report which lists the 1,000 most dynamic and fastest-growing small and medium-sized companies in Europe.

Dean Westmoreland, chief executive at Omar Group said: “We’re delighted that Hitachi Capital Business Finance has chosen to work with us exclusively – two high-integrity, market-leading businesses working hand in hand!

“The park home and luxury lodge market is currently seeing impressive growth, and demand for our luxury homes and lodges has seen our production schedule full into 2018. This new partnership will enable us to help some of our rapidly growing customers to fund stock homes and lodges, encourage growth within the industry and further strengthen our position as market leaders.”

Gavin Wraith-Carter, managing director at Hitachi Capital Business Finance (pictured above) added: “This quarter has been one of exciting progress for us and this contract gives us the potential to expand into new sectors. The new business win with Omar Group demonstrates the team’s exceptional levels of service and ability to fulfil specific requirements. We are delighted to align with the expert and seasoned manufacturer in mobile home sector, Omar.”
