🚨 cap hpi’s Jeremey Yea on March and Q1 trade values (E20, S11)

🚨SUPPLIER SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE🚨 MOTORS has relaunched Cazoo as a dealer-focused used car marketplace, with the all-new website going live on 2 April. We’ve got the full lowdown on the Motor Trade Radio podcast!   MOTORS CEO Barry Judge and COO Phill Jones join us to discuss how Cazoo will be positioned as the flagship brand in the MOTORS network and a challenger to the market leader.   Listeners will remember how Cazoo was launched in late 2019 as an alternative online used car buying service. It grew rapidly through a series of acquisitions, supported by some heavyweight consumer advertising before it over-reached and went into receivership last year.    The Cazoo brand – but none of its assets – was acquired by MOTORS in June 2024, with an all-new marketplace app debuting last summer. The new website marks the beginning of the next phase.   This is big news for franchised and independent dealers and car supermarkets, so tune in and find out how you can get involved!   #automotive
