Carscierge

What Carscierge does

Carscierge is a family-run, Shrewsbury-headquartered specialist in enclosed vehicle transport, indoor storage, sourcing, consignment, and finance brokerage for classic, luxury, and high-value vehicles across the UK and, under its Standard International Operator's Licence, into Europe. Founded in 2024 by Ollie Pickett, the firm operates with a 2-person core team (a CPC-qualified Transport Manager and a Client Care & Operations lead) and targets private collectors, dealers, and auction houses whose vehicles require covered, GPS-tracked transit and climate-stable storage.

The service mix spans transport at £1.35 per mile after the first 50 miles, indoor storage subscriptions at £120–£156 per month, vehicle sourcing and consignment, and FCA-regulated credit broking, alongside a retail sub-brand ("Carscierge Cars") that sells used vehicles sourced through its dealer and collector network. The technical stack is modest and operational rather than software-led: GPS-tracked enclosed trailers, digital condition-appraisal forms, and condition photography. Compliance is anchored by the Standard International Operator's Licence and participation in the DVSA New Operator Scheme.

Revenue mechanics are multi-stream and early-stage. The business earns transport fees per job, recurring storage subscription revenue, sourcing and consignment commissions, and finance-broker commissions on arranged credit, with no disclosed subscription minimums or enterprise contracts. The firm is bootstrapped with no external funding and operates at a scale consistent with a single-vehicle, founder-led logistics operation building out adjacent service lines.
