Aston Barclay has launched a fortnightly van sale at its Chelmsford auction as the used light commercial market shows glimpses of recovery.

The Chelmsford sale will be held on the Monday of the 2nd and 4th week of each month and has been instigated by the increased demand from vendors and buyers to sell and buy used stock since September.

“During 2009 fewer small businesses have been looking to buy used vans as they ride out the recession. Some of those companies are coming back into the market to buy a used van as their businesses start to show signs of growth,” said David Scarborough, Aston Barclay’s national sales director.
