What can we do for you?
If you’re an automotive organisation looking to set up, strengthen or transform your used vehicle operations, you’ve come to the right place.
MA5 Used Vehicle Consulting Group was founded in 2023 by four used vehicle consultants. Over the years, we have worked together on various projects and in so doing, we’ve come to know and value each other’s expertise. Because we believe the sum is greater than the parts, we have joined forces to create tailor-made solutions for your used vehicle needs.
MA5 was born in Europe, and is active around the world. Our core team of four associate partners covers a wide range of skills, languages, and geographies. Additionally, we have an established global network of trainers and consultants who offer high-quality support in local languages.
Meet the Team!
Our four founding partners have worked with Dealers, Dealer Groups, Importers, OEM Headquarters, Service Providers, and Lease Companies. That adds up to a lot of experience across a broad spectrum of the used-vehicle industry.
All founding partners have in-depth knowledge of the entire used vehicle ecosystem. In addition, each closely follows specific focus areas. This allows us as a team to stay up to date with (and reap the benefits from) the latest innovations across all these areas.
