I lead the development and construction of Cazoo's direct from customer purchasing proposition. I started this work in late 2020, as Head of Pricing and worked across the technical and operational teams to create a unique customer proposition that is Fair, Transparent and Simple. When we launched this in July 2021 it quickly grew to our largest purchase channel. I lead this growth and built this channel into our most profitable form of purchasing. Recognising the importance this played I moved to focus mainly on Consumer Purchasing and wholesale and handed over my pricing responsibilities.
