"Carwow’s consumer proposition is just as exciting, which is helping make car changing simpler for consumers across Europe – and with over 9 million car changes a year alone in the UK, we’re looking forward to supporting the Management team in growing the business and delivering on its true potential.

"In an era when everyone is used to ordering goods and services from a meal to a car ride at the push of a button, it is unacceptable how difficult wholesale buying can be for small and medium-sized businesses. Qogita was founded with a mission to transform procurement and provide the buying power and privileges of a global chain to every ambitious e-commerce platform or mid-sized store.
