Founder

Dale Ogden

Founder - Check Your Spec

That’s me! With over 20 years in the automotive industry, I’ve always been fascinated by what makes cars tick, and more importantly, what makes them hold their value. Before launching Check Your Spec, I was the Forecast Manager at CAP HPI (think of them as the UK’s Kelley Blue Book), where I led the charge on developing forecasting strategies and depreciation models for all kinds of vehicles. From traditional gas guzzlers to the latest electric vans. I’m particularly proud of the EV forecasting models I pioneered, which are now used by major manufacturers. Basically, if it has wheels and a price tag, I’ve probably forecasted its value! My goal with Check Your Spec is to put that knowledge in your hands, helping you make smarter decisions about the vehicles you want to buy, or already own.
