Who we are

Who we are

We've over 15 years' worth of experience in helping people find the right car - from the right retailer, at the right price - with the latest tools and technology.

Motors.co.uk was launched in 2007 by the Daily Mail & General Trust and, after a period of rapid growth, was acquired by Cox Automotive in 2010. Twelve years later, Motors.co.uk was sold to Gumtree, which was then acquired in 2021 by O3 and Novum Capital.

Our offices, based in Richmond, Surrey, and Abingdon, Oxfordshire, are home to a talented team of over 250 co-workers. We're an ambitious and growing £100m business.
