How we work 🙌
-
Fully remote
We’re built for flexibility, work from wherever you do your best thinking. Being fully remote means we focus on output, not office hours, and trust each other to deliver.
-
Performance driven
We set ambitious goals and hold ourselves accountable for hitting them. Success is measured by the impact we create, not just the effort we put in.
-
Take ownership
We take ownership of our work, problems, actions and those of our teams. We enjoy accountability as we love autonomy.
-
Celebrating success
We take time to recognise the wins, big and small. Celebrating together keeps us motivated and reminds us of the difference our work makes.
-
Care and fair
We care about others; about each other, our work, our customers, our vision. We show we care through our actions. We are also fair in all dealings.
-
Curious not furious
Whilst passionate, we like to ask questions. We try to be free of ego, understand better. We challenge each other, but respectfully.
-
Get involved
We turn up and work together. We tap into the collective intelligence and capabilities of our teams, and push things forward together.
-
Do things
We know there is no job that anyone is too good for. We recognise things need doing if we want to make a difference and be successful.
What our people say 💬
Paige Phillips
After a year at Car & Classic, I can honestly say it’s been my favourite workplace to date. The team is exceptional, we are collaborative and passionate. One of my highlights has been working on our own start-up within the business, helping to build the marketplace product from scratch. Alongside this it’s an environment where you feel valued and motivated each week.
Jack McMenamy
I’ve been with Car & Classic since March 2025, and have been responsible for revamping our CRM strategy to better connect car enthusiasts with their dream classics. I love how collaborative and data-driven the culture is - things are so quick to move in order to improve the customer experience or to leverage new and useful pieces of data. The best thing about working here is being given both the trust and tools to drive a project from inception to competition.
Chris Kishtoo
I’ve been at Car & Classic for 4.5 years, in that time I've progressed from Sales Negotiator to Sales Manager. From day one, everyone at Car & Classic has been very supportive with my development within the company. You get the sense that we are all pulling together with shared goals and definitely a growth mindset. Without a doubt, the best thing about working here is the people, followed very closely by our shared passion of Classic & Specialist vehicles!
Ben Brace
I've been here for over 5 years now. I joined as a Customer Support Executive and progressed into management before moving internally to our Product team. My colleagues make this the most special place to work, it's a joy to log on and speak/work with them! We are trusted to get the job done, which allows us to be super flexible when juggling busy personal lives. If you want to get involved in something outside of your remit, you can. Personal development is just as big as professional development here! Above all though, it's just a fun place to work with some very special people!
Bruno Francisco
I joined Car & Classic as a Senior Software Developer and have since grown into a Lead role. The engineering culture here is strong - we tackle technical debt seriously and build things the right way. What I love most is the transparency across the company and the respect shared among skilled people who know their 💩

All of our roles are fully-remote, however some positions will require you to be in a certain country, e.g. if your position is a sales position developing the United Kingdom market, you'll need to be based somewhere in the United Kingdom as some of our employees like to visit their clients sometimes.

This is different for each team. As a general rule we have one all-company get together every year, in 2025 we all went to Goodwood Revival.
Separately, teams/departments will then meet up at various points throughout the year, usually twice per year or at the launch of a major project.
