Car finance specialist, Zuto, is planning to recruit 70 people by the end of the year after posting strong trading results.

The broker, with operations based in both Macclesfield and central Manchester is recruiting across its engagement, finance, sales, marketing and technical departments.

The £20m turnover firm, which employs 300 people, supports UK car buyers in both the search and funding of their vehicle and to date has helped more than half a million people find car finance. 

Since January, Zuto has been experiencing month-on-month record performance and in February was ranked the 18th Best Company to Work For by Best Companies and the Sunday Times.

Sarah Brooks-Pearce, head of talent at Zuto said: “There’s never been a better time to join our company. Record performance means we need to strengthen our team to continue to deliver a first class experience to our customers.

“Unlike other car finance companies, Zuto provides one-to-one support for customers through the entire car buying process. 

“We not only help secure finance, but will help in the vehicle search, complete valuations and vehicle history checks and even negotiate with the dealer on the customer’s behalf.

“This specialist service requires dedicated and passionate individuals and on-going investment in technical solutions so that car buyers never think of going anywhere else when they choose to buy their next car.”

Of Zuto’s 70 vacancies, 50 sales executive positions are available at the firm’s head office in Macclesfield, where candidates can expect OTE of £45k per annum, a spokesman said.
