About us

heycar UK are on a mission to transform the car industry. Since August 2019, we’ve been working hard to raise the bar for customers looking for their next set of wheels, and car dealers looking to sell them.

We bring the best and most trusted dealerships across the UK closer to their customers. How? By making the right connections. Providing customers with the confidence they need to find a car they’ll love, and putting dealers in touch with customers who are ready to buy.

Action highlights

We launched heyfit following the rather sudden Christmas lockdown. The reason? It's no secret that looking after our physical health positively impacts our mental wellbeing.

To get the excitement going, we sent everyone a heyfit goody bag filled with everything they’d need to start our team challenge in style.

We kicked off a step count challenge with each team aiming to cover the steps from London to Berlin (where our heycar Germany team are based) in a month for charity.

We switched up 121s and other meetings to walking sessions and also launched ‘Wellness Wednesdays’ with PT led Zoom fitness classes each week.

As a reward for the teams' hard work, we sent a 'hey-recharge' pack and we gave everyone an extra day off before the Easter bank holiday, with no Slack and no emails, making sure we all got some serious downtime.

We've walked millions of steps, raised money for charity and had a lot of fun together! And as soon as we're able we’ll have some much-needed celebrations in person!
