Our take
Oodle was founded in order to simplify car buying and ownership by providing an easy and transparent way of supplying buyers with car finance to facilitate a seamless and enjoyable customer experience.
It aims to revolutionise how people buy cars by prioritising customer needs and utilising modern technologies to update the used car market. Oodle primarily supplies loans to customers and puts them in contact with the UK's best-rated car dealers in a rapid digital procedure.
This customer-first, fully integrated digital retail experience is backed by powerful algorithms, their proprietary loan technology, machine learning, and Big Data infrastructure.
Oodle now has branches in Oxford, Manchester, and London, acquiring Carsnip in December 2018 to become their go-to car search engine provider.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Oodle Car Finance
Heidi (Physick )
- At Oodle, we don’t just finance cars – we finance people. We know that everyone is unique, shaped by their own circumstances, experiences, and moments in life. This belief in individuality applies not just to our customers, but to our employees too. That’s why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) matter so much to us – because embracing what makes us different is how we thrive together.
- Oodle is built on a shared set of beliefs, values, and behaviours that guide how we act and treat one another. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are at the heart of our culture because we know it’s not just good for business – it’s simply the right thing to do. We celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives, and contributions of every team member and are dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. A culture built on diversity and inclusion helps us grow as a team and better serve our customers.
- Why it matters We believe that diverse teams perform better and that an inclusive workplace leads to happier, more engaged employees. By embedding DEI into every aspect of what we do, we’re not just building a stronger company – we’re making a positive, lasting impact on our industry. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but we’re just getting started. At Oodle, we’re committed to learning, growing, and leading by example, ensuring that everyone – inside and outside our organisation – feels empowered, included, and valued.
- We have DEI networks meeting monthly, covering Gender, REACH Network (Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Heritage), LGBTQIA+ Network, Neurodiversity and Mental Health Network. Each group has at least one Executive Committee member involved.
- Our DEI networks are actively working towards our strategic goals, from implementing inclusive hiring practices to organising events, workshops, and campaigns that educate, inspire, and celebrate diversity.
- We run mandatory DEI training every year and for all new starters, and have a number related webinars available in our Oodle Academy.
- Launched Oodlechat Podcast series, where we share insightful discussions on key topics around DEI.
