VIP was established in 2004 and quickly established itself as a leading consumer used valuation provider. The business was acquired by CDL in 2009.

Keighley has not yet announced his next role but said: ‘I have enjoyed working with CDL over the last three years and also excited about future prospects. I am now looking at both short and long-term opportunities within the automotive sector, particularly in areas relating to used valuations and ownership costs.’
