COME ON LUKE

It’s not very often that the writer of this column reveals the secret information behind Lightcliffe’s sophisticated marketing strategy but readers might be interested in a little story about a quiet Tuesday morning meeting a few months ago. 

GM John, a keen darts player, advised that a local darts player was making waves in the game at the tender age of 16 and then suggested that we might invite this young man to be one of our affiliates. After a couple of friendly phone calls this young man visited the dealership, signed on the dotted line and duly became a sponsored Lightcliffe affiliate.  

Being totally honest the writer of this column, not being a darts player was a little sceptical but thought that a “score your own discount” afternoon with a local lad who could pop a few doubles might be a good idea. 

Fast forward three months and darts “wunderkind” Luke Littler is poised to be the youngest world champion ever when he plays in the World Darts Championship this evening. To say his journey has been remarkable is an understatement and statistics show both an incredible scoring average and maturity and composure beyond his years on the biggest stage. His run saw the 16-year-old beat Rob Cross with triple 19s and triple 20s flowing effortlessly in the final sets as Littler eventually secured a six set to two triumph that gives him a shot at securing £500,000 in the final, and millions of pounds of sponsorship earnings to boot. Luke will now play in the final tonight against new world No 1 Luke Humphries who beat Scott Williams 6-0 on the same evening. 

Darts in the UK hasn’t really seen this level of interest since the days of Jocky Wilson and Eric “crafty cockney” Bristow and this young man has quite simply captured the country’s imagination. With Sky achieving record breaking viewing figures and social media stats increasing like a pinball machine his aptitude for elite competition simply beggars belief.

It goes without saying that everyone here at Lightcliffe Skoda will be cheering our boy on tonight I’d like to ask all the good people of Warrington and the surrounding area to join us. 

Come on Luke – you can do it!!

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
