From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 8 February 2013 for the purpose of providing a digital car ownership platform that would automate and centralise the administrative aspects of car ownership, comprising a car ownership hub and a garage network. The co-founders are Olli Astley and Lucy Burnford. Olli Astley has extensive knowledge of the automotive sector and Lucy Burnford was behind the Motoriety concept and has important relationships with key stakeholders in the sector.
In August 2015 the Company entered into a joint venture with the AA and in particular AADL in relation to its car ownership hub which rebranded as Automzye/AA Garage Guide.
The Company focussed on launching and developing both the car ownership hub and the garage network. The car ownership hub is designed to automate and centralise car administration for owners by aiding the building of a digital ownership history. The platform is directly linked to the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (“DVLA”) and auto-populates users accounts with significant car ownership data and history including tax, servicing and MOT history etc. This service has circa 140k users.
