About Us

Consumer reviews have become a hugely important source of reassurance for consumers shopping online. When you are online searching for a hotel, a new TV, a new pair of trainers or a light bulb, chances are that you have read and been influenced by the consumer reviews that you have read of real customers sharing their real-world experiences and insights of a product.

DriverReviews was launched in 2021 and has quickly grown to become Europe’s largest verified tyre reviews platform, partnering with the largest online tyre retailers and tyre manufacturers to collect and syndicate more than 750,000 tyre reviews from genuine, verified motorists. Our aim is to be the most globally recognised and trusted tyre reviews platform and we are currently seeking to appoint several new roles to support the business in this next phase of exciting growth plans.

DriverReviews is now an established but young business with a start-up mentality. We are ambitious and have high expectations for growth. We are looking for smart, like-minded people to join us on our journey.
