About Us

Motorseeker is a Limited Company owned by David Merifield and operated by Lee French. Between them they have almost 50 years experience and expertise in automotive retailing.

Until recently, David Merifield owned and operated Blakes a large multi-franchise volume motor group holding franchises for Vauxhall, Peugeot and Chevrolet. Blakes was the family business for 55 years.

Today, Motorseeker offers a wide range of used vehicles to suit all budgets from £3000 to £60000. Being FSA accredited, we are able to offer best advice on the funding methods - including lease purchase and contract hire.

In early 2008, we launch our new car and van service. We are already able to offer customers old and new the very best terms on all new cars and vans. We have already supplied new cars to customers as far away as the North of Scotland who liked our no-nonsense approach. They appreciated being able to get through on the phone to the person they needed, who was able to give them the best terms over the phone. Some customers have already told us that we saved them £1000's against the dealer's prices!

Lee French and the team

Lee has worked with David now for nearly 10 years. He pledges that he can supply a price on all new cars or vans. 'We have invested in computer technology that allows us to quote a price within seconds' he adds. Lee has also launched very recently, our 'Car Location Service' - you just email or call him with exactly what you are seeking and let Motorseeker do the rest!

Our Values

When you contact Motorseeker - you can expect honesty, integrity and promptness in dealing with your requirements. Having had the vast experience of running a large dealership group for many years we know customer frustrations! Not speaking to the person you want to speak to, not getting a price unless 'you are dealing today', expensively clad sales people who really don't care, telephone calls not being returned, feeling that you have 'had your leg lifted'.... Need we say any more!

We like to think that we have learned from other people's mistakes! So why not put us to the test!

Lee and the team at Motorseeker look forward to being of service to you!
