Our story

Sellthevan.com was set up in 2020 by father and son team Darren and Max Sharpe. They both run a van dealership in Windsor called Huntswood Motor Company, which sells a range of commercial vehicles. Since the start of covid in 2020, the prices of used vans have soared and this has meant that dealers have found it harder to source quality stock. Max had wanted to set up an online van buying service for a long time and felt that it would be a safer way to buy commercial vehicles, as opposed to taking a huge risk on them by buying them at auction.

Max Sharpe - Director

After graduating with a First in International Relations and Modern History, Max lived in China for a year teaching at a University in Shanghai and upon returning to the UK in 2020, Max set up Huntswood Motor Company. Born into a family of car salesman, he was inspired to bring the motor trade into the twenty-first century. 

The used vehicle sales industry, he believed, was riddled with rogue traders who were stuck in the realms of a bygone era: administration fees, next day payments and no free UK collection. At sellthevan.com, the price we offer is the price you will get. Don’t hand us the keys until you have the money you have in your account!

Having worked for a prestigious fine art dealership for 4 years, Max has extensive experience in a customed-centred industry and understands that there is only one crucial element of a successful business: great customer service. That’s why sellthevan.com is open 7 days a week with same-day valuations. 

As well as running Huntswood Motor Company, Max is a regular contributor to World Speech Day, an annual event set up around the world to inspire the next generation of public speakers. Feel free to watch one of his talks by clicking play on the Youtube video below.
