Cazoo Wiltshire workers ‘in limbo’

07 March 2023

Cazoo’s preparation centre in Wiltshire is likely to close on 17 March, putting 150 jobs at risk. Surveyors were reportedly seen at the site in February but an insider admitted “we’re all in limbo wondering what is going on because we have not been told”.

Arnold Clark has bought Cazoo’s customer centres in Chertsey and Northampton for £10.5m; Peter Vardy has also acquired the Cazoo customer centre in Grangemouth and its Livingston vehicle preparation centre.

Cazoo has confirmed it will only keep customer centres open in Birmingham, Bristol, Chertsey, Lakeside, Manchester, Northampton and Wembley. It will also only retail three vehicle preparation centres in Bristol Bedford and Staffordshire.
