Dealerweb has opened its first regional office in Leeds to support its “ambitious” growth plans.

The northern hub will support sales and customer service functions across the North and Midlands from the business centre in One Park Row, in Leeds city centre.

It is the first time the company has opened an office outside its headquarters in Exeter. Dealerweb chose Leeds because it is a centre for automotive digital and data companies.

Dealerweb’s managing director Martin Hill (pictured) said: “Leeds is a fast-growing digital hub and is home to many leading names in the automotive sector. The new northern hub will support our ability to service customers across the UK and help our sales team operate more efficiently.”

The company recently announced plans to move its headquarters to the Exeter Science Park and create 20 new jobs across customer service, data analysis and digital functions as it doubled the size of its workforce.
