Cazoo completes EU exit

Cazoo created massive waves, great headlines and appeared an unstoppable force with its deep, deep pockets. It powered through Europe as a growing automotive force. That was then. Today it’s announcing its complete withdrawal from Europe with the sale of its German subscription business, Cluno. This has now been bought by ViveLaCar and The Platform Group. It’s worth remembering that not everything shiny and new is great or long lasting – it spent £210m on subscription businesses; sometimes doing the right thing, step by difficult step, is the way to build lasting value. It’s a process that is typical of our profile of Broker News Awards winner Greenstreets – a great business based on sound values.
