New investment has enabled Manheim Auctions, Bristol, to expand its site by an additional 2.2 acres and introduce a new auction programme every Monday.
The new land, adjacent to the main auction centre, was previously used for container storage and is located parallel to the former inspection compound. It has allowed Manheim Auctions to change much of the inspection and yard operation which will bring greater operational efficiencies and improved service levels for its vendors and buyers as well as ensuring that there is the storage capacity to accommodate the new auction programme.
The new Monday Dealer Part Exchange auction programme, introduced to complement the Dealer auction on Thursday, began at the beginning of June with more than 200 vehicles, a figure that is expected to rise to 300 per week by the end of the year. Vendors include Ron Skinner and Sons, Allen Ford, Nathaniel Mitsubishi, Motorlux, White Dove Garages, Lanehouse Group and Astley Saab.
Mike Pilkington, managing director, Manheim Remarketing, said: “Manheim Auctions continues to invest in the Bristol site and the recent acquisition of 2.2 acres of additional land has enabled us to extend our sales programme which is an important step towards the delivery of our growth strategy. The response to the new Monday auction from vendors and buyers has been very positive and we expect to see more vendors as the sale becomes established over the coming weeks.”
