Cherry got me a better deal
Since 1992 David Cherry and Cherry Godfrey in Guernsey and Jersey have been striving to give their customers a better deal. In that time their successful business and approach has stayed true to its word and it is fair to say hundreds, if not thousands, of Channel Islands can say Cherry Got Me a Better Deal.
Cherry Godfrey was founded by David Cherry and Selena Cherry (nee Godfrey) who had both met whilst working together at The Associates, now the giant Citi Bank. David Cherry was born in Guernsey and returned to the Island in 1990 to take up the role of Guernsey Managing Director of the consumer finance company The Associates and at this time Selena Cherry was a Director of the Guernsey company Channel Scientific owned by her parents.
Going against all advice but with the full support of Selena and their 12 month old son Jacob, their newborn daughter Tansy and their thumping great mortgage David Cherry gave up his well paid job and started Cherry Godfrey Associates in their front room. David armed with his very comprehensive business plan was rejected by 4 banks before finally one finally agreed to give him an overdraft. He wasn’t surprised that the banks weren’t keen on giving him money for a new finance company as he felt it was a bit like Turkeys voting for Christmas but David Cherry knew he could deliver good old fashioned local service to his customers which was something the banks had lost sight of. And to this day, everything done at Cherry Godfrey is with the aim of ensuring they have happy customers in Guernsey and Jersey, who either say or think 'Cherry Got Me a Better Deal.'
