The Companies form part of a larger group of entities (“the Group”) and were founded in 2018 as an online second-hand car retailer with a mission to transform the car buying and selling experience.

The Group experienced a surge in popularity and growth during the covid pandemic when restrictions forced car buyers to browse and make their purchases online.

The Group expanded operations into Europe with its technology platform available in France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. At its peak, the Group employed over 4,500 staff.
