Our take
Over one-third of the UK's population visit Gumtree per month, making it the UK's #1 classifieds website with over 1.8 million ads on the site at any one time. Gumtree includes ads to find a new car, job, second-hand items, and services.
In 2005, the platform was acquired by eBay and added to its portfolio of online classifieds sites. However, both Gumtree and its sister brand - used car marketplace Motors.co.uk - were sold in 2021 to Novum Capital & O3 Industries, and have operated in conjunction ever since.
With the rise of security and data protection concerns from customers, the company uses a sophisticated system for screening ads, finding inaccuracies, and encouraging best practices. It has also joined forces with government and enforcement agencies to improve cyber security and the buyer experience, showcasing a devotion to innovating with the times.
