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.

Open and honest communication

DEI is one of our core focuses in the business, with DEI networks created and managed by our employees, so that the initiatives are driven by us and not Senior Leadership. Our Senior Leadership sponsor each Network and ensure that they are topics brought to the table. Over the years, we have celebrated and raised awareness across Pride Month, International Women's day, various Religious and Cultural festivals, with more added to our calendar every year! I have seen a huge drive and change in the business in how DEI becomes an important part of who we are, and how it embeds into our culture and recruitment processes.
