of online used car seller Autoquake.com.
of online used car seller Autoquake.com.
The company is on track to increase the number of cars it has sold by 60% this year with revenue increasing by 180%.
It has contracts with ten UK top leasing companies to remarket their cars.
Halpin, who spent more than seven years at the online travel giant, said: “At Expedia we were the internet pioneers who made travel products available to consumers in an easy and transparent way.
“We built one of the biggest travel companies in the world by helping consumers find the right flights and hotels at lower prices, and by helping the hotels and airlines to improve their margins by providing a new and efficient method of distribution.
“There are clear parallels with Autoquake.com which uses the internet to help people to purchase cars in a more transparent way, and at the same time helps fleets to make their inventory available directly to consumers to achieve higher returns.”
