Think you'll find they are regional offices, main office always was in Lower Earley - Reading as the founder lived close by.

Registered office does not necessarily equal their primary place of business.

Auto Trader was formed by John Madjeski - Madjeski Stadium is home to Reading Football club - he is a multi millionaire. Applos for spelling of his name, maybe wrong? Hence the thatcham/Reading location

Yes I should've added that thanks Carl

Our registered office is listed as our accountants office address for instance as are a lot of companies.

Head office is at Thatcham. Been there a few times as I work for the IT supplier that supplies most of the kit for the production side. Autotrader was a joint venture between Hurst Publishing and Guardian media Group.

What do you need help with as we've got a few good contacts there ?

I've got to ask...

Why? You've been waiting for about 20 hours to get the address - surely it would be easier to phone, and then you are guarranteed to speak to someone that works for them too.

I just thought I would try on here first. Thats all. I need a query answered and thought a friendly scoobynetter who works at the autotrader main office could answer what I wanted to ask.
