Jigcar CEO and Co-Founder Elliott Perks said the company is “delighted to solidify” Pollock’s role, having already worked with him in a consultancy capacity since the firm’s launch. “Jon’s extensive industry experience has already been pivotal to Jigcar’s early success in the UK,” Perks added, noting that his appointment comes at a “critical time” as the business accelerates its scale-up.
Pollock described the new role as “a privilege,” and said he was excited to bring his corporate experience to a “young, dynamic start-up.” He added that his priority will be to grow Jigcar’s reach among the top 100 dealer groups and establish new partnerships with OEMs, leasing companies, and rental vendors.
