Former Trader Media Group marketing director Matt Thompson has joined CAP as its new marketing director.

CAP was acquired by Montagu Private Equity in May this year and the business has been tasked with accelerating growth across the UK.

Prior to his 13 years at TMG, Thompson held a series of senior marketing positions with leading automotive specialists, including ERF, National Tyres & Autocare, Perkins Engines and Lucas Automotive.

CAP’s workforce has expanded by 30% since May in order to help boost the business.
