Autochek, the Nigerian cars marketplace, has officially launched operations in Kenya as part of its pan-African expansion. This expansion was made possible through its acquisition of Cheki Kenya from ROAM.

The startup also announced that it has appointed Bilhah Muriithi as the Country Manager to lead operations in the East African country.

Speaking at the official launch event in Nairobi, Founder and CEO of Autochek Etop Ikpe noted that with Kenya having a high credit penetration rate of 27.5 percent and over 400,000 car sales year on year, the country is an exciting market for the company to be expanding into.

“We have had great success in our pilots by adapting and tailoring our solutions for different consumers. As we expand our operations in Kenya,” he said.

On the appointment of Bilhah, Ikpe said: “We are excited to welcome Bilhah on board, who we found to be a strong leader with a solid background in the finance and automotive sector, and is equipped to lead the team in Kenya as we continue to expand our footprint across East Africa and beyond.”
