It’s a funny old time, isn’t it? On one hand, restrictions are coming to an end and the used car market is soaring. On the other, our prospects of a week on some far-flung sun lounger remain on hold and the new car market has been scuppered by a microchip shortage. It’s never been more important to know who you can depend on for sense and support.
So that’s why our Accelerate programme remains in place. We think the support it gives you remains as valid now as it did when we launched in at the start of the first national lockdown. Since then, we’ve tweaked and extended the package as your needs have evolved but its purpose remains the same: to make it easy for you to buy stock online and get it on sale quickly.
Buy in the lanes
We’re welcoming buyers back into our lanes at a handful of sites to help us understand the role of physical auctions in our future.
View before you bid
We’ve opened our sites to give you the chance to view stock ahead of each sale. Viewing is by appointment only and naturally, we’ve strict social distancing measures in place to keep you safe.
No change to buyer tiers
We understand that customer buying habits might have been affected in 2020 so have deferred all annual buyer account reviews to later in the year.
