David Guillory said: “CitNOW as a concept for the automotive market was enough to make me want to join. Coming from a retailing background, I know video is the type of lasting solution that can genuinely help American retailers; it isn’t just a flash in the pan, it is a genuine advancement.
“But it wasn’t just the idea. As the founders of automotive video, CitNOW brings with it over ten years of experience from the UK. This dedicated support network available to both the company and customers is already proving an integral part of our roll-out of the platform across the US.”
Alistair Horsburgh, CitNOW’s CEO added: “With substantial experience in the American automotive market, David’s experience, knowledge and track-record with major brands will no doubt prove the catalyst to CitNOW’s expansion across the USA.”
