Cap HPI has followed news of its international expansion plans with the appointment of Martin Verrelli as business development director with a brief to grow the company’s global operations.

Verrelli brings a wealth of experience from senior international roles at Volkswagen, Jato and EuroTaxGlass’s.

He said: “I join Cap HPI at an exciting time in its development. As part of global data business, Solera, the company has ambitious plans and products that will disrupt the market.”

The company announced its global plans at the Paris Motor Show and unveiled a European data set that will underpin its insight and data services with a new global coding system.

The company claims a single global code will help the industry drive innovation and growth throughout the vehicle lifecycle by enabling data led businesses to scale internationally in a fraction of the time and with much less cost.

Verrelli will recruit and lead a global business development team as the company rolls out across Europe and the Middle East in the coming months.
