Neil Treadway is one of three founders at ShiftGate, a modern approach to classic car online auctions that launched on July 21, 2021. ShiftGate was built for every car collector, enthusiast, and dreamer. Neil was born in Liverpool in the UK with a passion for noisy, vibrating, hella-race race cars. He raced a Formula 2000 in the mid 90s and in addition to building up speed he has a passion for building businesses too. After moving to Toronto he helped scale ListenUp! Canada (now HearingLife) one could say he’s equal parts gearhead and bean counter. Today he and his two business partners are helping people connection to cars by marketing intelligence and hyper-targeting advertising that connects active buyers with motivated sellers quickly.
