About us

Custodian is a community-focused software platform and app built specifically for car enthusiasts. The platform makes owning a specialist car easier and allows our users to focus on what's important - enjoying their cars!

Custodian provides the automotive community with helpful ownership tooling to look after their car(s), including embedded insurance, digital history files, invoice and cost tracking, image storage, car information sharing, reminders and more. The platform also includes a leading automotive podcast and publication (The Apex), several social features for car lovers and coming soon will be a marketplace.

We started Custodian 2 years ago bringing together top talent from the tech, automotive, finance, and marketing spaces.  Since then Custodian has amassed over £100M worth of cars on the platform being managed by 3,000+ enthusiast owners.  Our podcast and publication, The Apex, has also accumulated a following of over 22k die-hard automotive fans.  We’re backed by some big names in the Venture Capital and Angel investing space and are well positioned to take our business to Series A in the next two years (even in the current investment climate).

We hire globally, but given our initial marketing efforts are focused on the UK car community and its associated automotive events, we have a preference for people based in the UK.
