About VWFS
It’s been 70 years since we helped the very first Volkswagen drivers get behind the wheel. We’ve helped a great deal more since then. But while our vehicles have changed a great deal in that time, our ambition has stayed the same: to meet the mobility needs of the people.
The Key to Mobility.
It’s our mission statement but what does ‘The Key to Mobility’ actually mean? Put simply, it’s helping people with the things they need to get from A to B. To do this, we have grown from just being a finance provider, to being a company that gives customers access to more ways to stay mobile. That could mean car sharing, vehicle subscriptions, leasing or something more.
What keeps us moving forward?
To help keep us and our customers moving forward both now, and in the future, we have a developed a new strategy called Mobility 2030 and focusing on five key areas:
- Customer loyalty
- Vehicle
- Performance
- Data and technology
- Sustainability
Who do we work with?
To give our customers the vehicles they need, we work with some of the world’s most loved automotive brands. These include:
How we stay on the right road
To help us understand the role we play in enabling more people to drive our cars, we have some Guiding Principles. These steer the way for how we do business, treat our colleagues, and even develop the products and services we sell.
In practice this means working together as one team, providing an environment where people can thrive, helping them to learn, and giving them the skills and confidence to try new things.
Locations
Our UK HQ is in Milton Keynes, a young city built with modern life in mind, just 50 miles from London but a world away from the busy capital. Our office space is designed to promote wellbeing and collaboration. You can enjoy delicious food in our restaurant, relax over a game of pool, or get a caffeine hit from our Kombi Van.
We also support hybrid working, as flexibility is important for the business and our colleagues. So, when we’re not in the office in Milton Keynes, we’re at home collaborating online.
Diversity at VWFS
100% us
At VWFS, we’re passionate about creating a culturally strong workplace where all of our colleagues feel comfortable being their 100% authentic self. We want to celebrate diversity, create an environment where all differences are valued, ensure everyone has access to the same opportunities and inspire our colleagues to collaborate and lead inclusively every day.
100% me
At VWFS we place a great deal of importance on creating a culturally strong environment, and we recognise that maintaining a healthy and inclusive workplace involves constant evolution. One way we can ensure continuous positive change, is by sharing and listening to each other’s experiences, educating ourselves and developing as individuals so that we can all grow and expand our understanding together.
To support our VWFS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy we offer our colleagues the opportunity to be part of working groups to open up the opportunity for discussion, drive change and help ensure all our colleagues feel included.
Life at VWFS
We’re passionate about putting people at the heart of everything we do. We’re informal, collaborative and diverse. We operate a culture of flexibility, to empower our colleagues to work in a way that works for them. We want everyone to reach their full potential and have a suite of resources to help you develop your career.
Charity events and our community
A great workplace is a great community, and a great community looks outwards too. For many years we have taken part in and contributed to many charitable activities for the local community and beyond. We have created a hub where colleagues can come together to develop new skills to support the community and other charities that are close to the hearts of our colleagues.
Benefits
At VWFS we have a wide range of benefits available, and we want to reward all our colleagues for doing a great job. Along with a competitive annual salary our total benefits package is exciting too…. it’s more than just a car! Here are just some of the benefits on offer that you can enjoy.

Your health and wellbeing are a priority for us. We want colleagues to be happy and healthy, and able to enjoy work and leisure time. We believe prevention is always better than cure, so we offer comprehensive programmes on-site that proactively supports your present and future health.
Hybrid working and work life balance
Hybrid working is a landmark change for VWFS, and one that we are very proud of. We listened to colleagues, trialled hybrid options and have permanently switched to a completely hybrid working model, giving our colleagues the ability to find a way of working that works for them.
We operate a culture of flexibility, to empower our colleagues and enable them to work in a way which is in balance with their needs, the needs of our customers, our shareholders and their own teams.
Home life and family matters
No matter where you are in life, we know that family matters. As part of our team, we want to ensure that you are supported.

Our sick pay, maternity, paternity and adoption leave pay over and above statutory amounts, giving you the peace of mind and support you need to deal with a big life change.

We want everyone to reach their full potential at VWFS and provide a catalogue of core resources and courses to support you, as well as bespoke development programmes. It’s about finding the right development pathway for you, your aspirations and our future business success.
