About Us

We are the clear market leader in our sector and one of the fastest‑growing car buying companies in the world. In the UK we generate over 100,000 customer enquiries each month and book in tens of thousands of vehicles over the same period through our high‑traffic websites and nationwide operations. We have now launched across the United States, with multiple states already live and an ambitious plan to expand nationwide.

Our rapid expansion and success have been driven by outstanding people, a strong culture, and our ability to lean into the advantages of cutting‑edge technology. We are not a speculative startup, we have been established for over 15 years, are highly profitable, and have achieved this scale without external funding. That gives us both security and momentum – and yet, despite our size, we have kept the excitement, energy and ambition of a startup. Our team is collaborative, ambitious and relentlessly driven to be the best and most exciting place to work in our sector.

Our aim is bold: to build a billion‑dollar valuation within the next five years. Along the way, we want our growth to make a positive difference to others. We have already donated over £1 million to various charities, and as we scale, so too will our donations.

We offer a great base salary but the real game changer is what comes over the longer term.

Because of the huge opportunity for growth in the US, we intend to explore opportunities to provide equity in the business for those who make an exceptional impact in driving this expansion. We want the people who help us achieve our most ambitious goals to share directly in the value they create. This can result in genuinely life‑changing benefits as the company continues its growth journey.

Are you a highly organised and proactive professional with a passion for project management and operational efficiency? We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to play a vital role in supporting and driving projects on behalf of our Directors. In this role, you will work closely with multiple departments of over 120 staff, ensuring smooth project execution, improving processes, and contributing to business growth.

If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment and enjoy bringing structure to dynamic operations, we want to hear from you!
