Bromsgrove primary school teacher Sally Hall has done the sums and reckons her Mini from Newgate adds up to the best car deal around. Sally swapped her previous car – a Honda Jazz – for a cute Mini One in pepper white in September 2009 and has never looked back.

All the elements of a great car finance deal are in place for Derby High School’s Head of Chemistry Carole Riley. 41-year-old Carole, who has taught in Derby for 13 years, has been a fan of Minis for some years so was delighted to discover that she could swap her four-year-old Mini One for a brand new model in September 2009 – all without her monthly bill increasing.

Reverend Steve Jarvis – a non-stipendiary Minister in the Anglican (CofE) diocese of Hereford - admits he’d rather not have a car. But covering the scenic rural area around Ludlow while working as a youth worker in the town means he just can’t do without a vehicle. With environmental considerations to the fore, Rev. Jarvis’ brief to Newgate was simple – he needed a car of any colour as long as it was green!

Independent car finance company, Newgate Finance, urges the clergy to take advantage of the benefits available to them through the UK Government’s car scrappage scheme as it announces details of its first sale through the scheme.

The Reverend David Gray is no ordinary clergyman. A Franciscan tertiary and a volunteer for both the Anglican and Methodist orders, he also works as a volunteer advisor on community policing and takes local history sessions in schools across East Manchester.
