Simon Page ... award-winning business consultant

During his time at Volkswagen Financial Services, Simon Page was responsible for employee engagement and internal marketing. The ‘Financial Services Forum’ recognised Simon’s success in marketing effectiveness, as part of their 2008 annual awards.

The awards are committed to rewarding proven marketing
effectiveness in financial services.

Most effective internal marketing manager

Simon Page headed Volkswagen’s Financial Services team. Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) is the provider of retail finance, insurance and banking products for Volkswagen Group retailers and customers.

As part of an initiative, VWFS set out to accelerate the rate of business growth.
In order to achieve this, the team maximised its most important asset – its people.

Through an integrated series of activities branded “Driving our Future” combining both performance improvement and communication actions, VWFS saw sales growth of over 25% in the first six months of 2008 (compared to sales growth of 15% in 2007).

By engaging people to perform at their highest level and creating a place where people wanted to stay, VWFS pushed the boundaries of new business acquisition and customer retention against a background of difficulties in the financial services markets.

Judges’ award for best contribution to marketing learning

The Financial Services Forum further recognised Simon Page’s work at VWFS, awarding him ‘Best Contribution to Marketing Learning,’ which was chosen from the winners of all categories.
