Tom Wood, chief executive officer of Cazana, said: “The investment we have secured demonstrates the value that Cazana’s database provides both to the motor trade, and to consumers looking to purchase a used car.
“Since our launch in 2013, we have grown at a rapid rate, and this investment will enable us to help more businesses understand vehicles better and continue to improve our platform for consumers.
“We are also attracting some major industry names and reputations to Cazana, and are delighted to have the backing of Passion Capital, Origin Capital and ex-RAC MD Robert Diamond.”
Cazana recently appointed Rupert Pontin of Glass’s as its head of valuations. The company has also expressed the intention to expand in the US and the rest of Europe.
