Alex Chesterman, founder and chief executive of Cazoo, said: “We are delighted to have Jonathan as part of our team. His experience from running the UK’s largest car supermarket business will be invaluable as we continue to deliver on our mission of providing the best car buying and selling experience for consumers across the UK and Europe.”
Dunkley added: “I’m very much looking forward to working with Alex, Paul and the team. Cazoo has achieved phenomenal growth already but are only just getting started. Their strategy and ambition is clear and I look forward to playing my part in helping to transform the largest retail market in Europe.”
