Autorola Group CEO Peter Groftehauge (third from left) recently joined the team to celebrate the company’s anniversary at its Macclesfield UK HQ.
The UK was one of the first countries in Peter Groftehauge’s vision of creating a global online vehicle remarketing business.
Twenty years on, Autorola has 20 subsidiaries ranging from Brazil to Australia, and 16 European countries in between, with the UK in the top five employing over 60 colleagues and now selling its Indicata used car pricing platform and its Fleet Monitor asset management and business workflow system to dealers, fleets and OEMs.
“The UK was one of the very first markets in Peter’s ambition to build Autorola into a truly global company – making this milestone particularly meaningful to us in the UK,” explained Neil Frost, Autorola UK’s MD.
“What started as an exciting opportunity has developed into an incredible journey. This milestone is not just about growth in numbers, but about the people and partnerships behind it. Thank you to all our employees and customers in the UK who have helped build such a successful business together,” he added.
