CASE STUDY: CAZOO LTD.

An automotive, car sharing, e-commerce and rental car company born in the lock down…

Cazoo were founded in 2018 by CEO, Alex Chesterman OBE, to transform the way people
buy used cars. Launching in December 2019, they enjoyed record breaking growth through
the first half of 2020 and secured significant further funding and officially became Europe’s
fastest ever tech unicorn.

This pace of innovation can only happen with brilliant people and the right values. Cazoo’s
Product and Engineering team embrace Agile, XP and Software Craftmanship, and maintain
the highest standards across the board with a team dedicated coaches for all disciplines.

Now very much on their scale-up journey, Cazoo are committed to fostering a diverse and
inclusive culture, hiring the very best talent and continuing to build the smart technology
solutions required to truly disrupt the used car buying experience1.

Cazoo is pioneering the shift to online car buying and selling in the UK and mainland Europe
and has already sold over 35,000 cars since its launch less than two years ago to consumers
across the UK who have embraced the selection, transparency and convenience of buying
quality used cars entirely online. Cazoo is also Europe’s leading consumer car
subscription player with thousands of subscribers across the UK, France and Germany.

Cazoo has developed a market leading brand and fully integrated platform, where it owns
and reconditions all its cars before offering them for either delivery or collection in as little
as 72 hours. Over the past three years, Cazoo has grown its team to over 2,500 customer-
obsessed staff, focussed on delivering the best car buying and selling experience to
consumers across the UK & Europe. Already the leading online car retailer in the UK, Cazoo
is expanding into mainland Europe as it seeks to disrupt the largely offline $700 billion used
car market2.
