MERCEDES-Benz is increasing sales through Aston Barclay auctions by now including the newly refurbished Westbury auction centre in its 2017 sales programme.

The remarketing group’s Chelmsford centre will also receive increased volume with additional sales, while Prees Heath retains its regular programme.

Aston Barclay Group operations director Martin Potter said: “We are all delighted that the prestigious brand of Mercedes-Benz has increased its sales across our group for 2017; in return Aston Barclay will work closely with this company not only to deliver excellent sale results, but look to explore further opportunities to enhance sales and alternative remarketing routes.

“We are currently expanding our business in the IT and digital arena and with further funding are looking at acquisitions that will provide Mercedes-Benz and other customers with their specific needs for high volume remarketing in the years ahead,” added Potter.

As the UK’s only national competitor to the duopoly of BCA and Manheim, Aston Barclay recognises the importance it plays for many of the UK’s largest fleet, leasing, OEM’s and dealer groups for remarketing competitiveness.
