🚗 Oodle – who are we? 🚗
For too long car buyers have had to negotiate a confusing, tired, and fragmented marketplace that is light years behind other retail sectors. Until now. We are ripping up the rule book and breaking the mould of a lender in the used-car market. Oodle Car Finance is changing the way people buy cars, by putting our customers’ needs front and centre by building modern, digital, retail processes around what the customer actually needs.
We primarily provide loans for our customers and link them up with some of the UK’s best car dealers. Since launching in 2016 the company has seen huge growth and success as it attempts to disrupt the second biggest retail market in the UK.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
