Hatfields will use a comprehensive range of Cap HPI data under the new agreement, covering HPI Check, warranty, spec check and Cap valuations all delivered via HPI Tradeweb.

One of the largest independent dealer groups in the UK for Jaguar, Land Rover, Hyundai and Volvo, Hatfields employs 450 people at its 11 franchised sites.

Philip Bennett, head of finance at Hatfields, said: “Data is a crucial and integral part of our business.

“We are focused on providing great service to our customers and seek the best partners to help us deliver it.

“Customer satisfaction is at the heart of the group’s philosophy, and this partnership underpins our approach.”

Established in 1922, Hatfields is an independent, family-run business, operating dealerships across the North of England and in Shrewsbury.

Chris Chambers, key account manager at Cap HPI, said: “We are very proud of this new relationship especially as Hatfields has built such a strong reputation for excellence in all areas.

“Hatfields is a great business, and we are looking forward to supporting its continued growth.”

Wakefield-based Hatfields recorded a turnover of £208.5 million in 2015 and gross profit of £12.6 million.

Founded in Sheffield in the 1920s, it remains one of the largest independent dealer groups in the UK for Jaguar and Hyundai.

It launched a new website in September 2011 integrated with its DMS to allow users to choose from its used cars at the group’s 10 locations.
