MOVEX LLP

What MOVEX LLP does

MOVEX LLP (legal name: Movex Logistics Limited) is a UK-based digital vehicle logistics marketplace founded in 2012 that connects motor dealers with licensed transport providers for the collection and delivery of vehicles. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cox Automotive Europe, with a registered office in Leeds and a trading address in Loughton, the platform processes more than 250,000 vehicle movements annually, supports a network of 4,000+ licensed transport providers (with around 600 active at any time), and accumulates over 13 million transport miles per year. Movement volumes have grown by more than 27% year-on-year.

The core product is a two-sided digital marketplace: dealers post vehicle movement jobs, vetted carriers bid/accept, and fulfilment is tracked through the platform with deep API integration into dealer management systems (reported to reduce load time by 83%). Recent platform investments include integration with Jigcar to extend into AI-powered transport management functionality. The company serves UK dealer groups including Lookers (under a five-year sole-supply agreement covering 135 dealerships), Hendy Group and MotorRange, alongside a long tail of independent dealers and transport providers. Recognition includes shortlistings for the Motor Trader Industry Awards 2025 and the Motor Trader Independent Dealer Award 2025. The business is led by Managing Director Tom Marley.

Revenue is generated through a dual-sided pricing model. Dealers pay a £20 monthly subscription or £5 per completed job; transport providers pay a £40 monthly subscription plus a 6% commission on each completed job. Enterprise agreements (e.g., the Lookers sole-supply contract) layer additional committed volume on top of the transaction-based pricing. As a non-reporting subsidiary within Cox Automotive Europe, MOVEX LLP does not publicly disclose standalone revenue or headcount.
