About the Company

THE CARWOW GROUP

Carwow Group is driven by a passion for getting people into cars. But not just any car, the right car. That’s why we are building the go-to destination for car-changing. Designed to reach drivers everywhere with our trail-blazing portfolio of personality-rich automotive brands; Carwow, Auto Express, evo, Driving Electric, and Car Buyer.

What started as a simple reviews site, is now one of the largest online car-changing destinations in Europe - over 10 million customers have used Carwow to help them buy and sell cars since its inception. Last year we grew over 50% with nearly £3 billion worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8 billion of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car service.

In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia, doubling our audience overnight. Together we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with over 1.1 billion annual views, sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines, and have an annual web content reach over 350 million.

WHY JOIN US?

Shortlisted in the prestigious Culture 100 list of the top Growth companies to work for by Hyer; we also recently raised $52 million in funding led by global venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners, an early backer of LinkedIn and Shopify, to accelerate our growth plans!

As pioneers, we’re always driving for new territory and positive change, so our work as a group is never done. Where others see difficulty, it’s our responsibility to see possibility – building new experiences, launching new titles, and listening to drivers.

Being a part of Carwow Group means championing drivers and the automotive industry, acting as a disrupter, and never being afraid to fail (but learning fast when we do!).

Our team of 500 employees across the UK, Germany, Spain, and Portugal are revolutionizing car-changing, and we are fast expanding our mission across every single brand and country we operate in, so jump in!
