Fifteen new jobs created at new all-online Northampton car garage after £1 million refit

Online second-hand car retailer, Cazoo, has today opened its latest customer centre, located at Bedford Road.

The site was formerly occupied by Imperial Cars, which was acquired by Cazoo in July.

Neil Smith, retail director at Cazoo, said: “We have been delighted by the overwhelmingly positive response of consumers to our online car buying proposition.

"With our ever-increasing number of sales, these new customer centres will provide more options to our customers on when and how they want to receive their Cazoo car and will allow us to serve them better through our own service centres.

"We’re excited to be opening in Northampton as we reinvent the car buying experience and continue our mission to provide better selection, transparency, convenience and peace of mind to used car buyers across the UK.”

Cazoo have since invested £1 million into refitting the site, creating 15 new customer-facing and vehicle-servicing jobs with plans to open a further seven sites across the UK before the end of the year.

Cazoo is developing these sites as distribution hubs to give customers the option of collection, home delivery as well as service centres to handle all of its vehicle servicing needs.

Customers can browse cars for sale online at the customer centre with purchases made entirely on the Internet.

The company owns and fully reconditions all its cars before offering them for sale on its website. They are stored centrally and available for either delivery anywhere in mainland UK or collection from a local customer centre in as little as 72 hours.
