Ex-Autoquake boss goes to motors.co.uk

The latest shakeup in the UK's online car retailing market sees the appointment of Garry Hobson to the position of CEO of motors.co.uk just days after he was replaced as boss of Autoquake by ex-Expedia Europe president Dermot Halpin.

Vacancy
The vacancy at motors.co.uk was created by the departure of Andrew Dyson, after serving three years as managing director. Dyson, who launched the business in 2006, will be assuming a new, but as yet unspecified, role within the organisation.

Background
Hobson will be responsible for growing the business and expanding its market share of the UK motoring advertising market. He has over 20 years of car industry experience having worked at both Pendragon and Inchcape. Prior to joining the Autoquake online car supermarket business in 2007 he was the Northern Europe managing director of Masterlease.

Motors.co.uk was launched in January 2007 and is part of the Associated Northcliffe Digital publishing business owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust.
