Peter Vardy Global launched to drive automotive innovation
Peter Vardy has launched Peter Vardy Global, a new technology and investment group focused on the future of mobility, automotive SaaS, and fintech.
The group was launched in 2006 and created nearly £200m in value. It sold its retail operations last year and plans now to invest in new technologies that will shape the automotive sector in future.
CEO Peter Vardy said: “After selling most of our retail operations in 2024, we’ve retained our Porsche Centres and are redeploying our capital, energy and talent into building and investing in world-class ventures. We’re leaning into the future by backing innovation that improves lives and rethinking how value is created.”
New structure
The group’s new structure already includes high-growth ventures like CarMoney, an international car finance platform, and FlexAuto, which offers customisable leasing solutions for the mobility-as-a-service generation.
Alongside these, Peter Vardy Global Ventures is a fast-growing portfolio with 11 active investments, primarily in overseas early-stage companies that are driving transformative change in transportation, finance, and vehicle technology.
Vardy said: “Our success has always come from building businesses early, from scratch or via acquisition. Backing people with vision, supported by a committed team, has proved incredibly powerful. We’re taking that playbook global.”
As Peter Vardy Global moves into its next phase, the mission is twofold: to scale its success in the innovation economy and to deepen its impact on young lives across the UK and beyond.
Vardy concluded:
“The last 20 years were about building value and contributing to society. The next 20 will be about doing both, just faster, further and with even more purpose.”
