Aston Barclay Plc’s Leeds site has been awarded with vehicle leasing company LeasePlan UK’s Auction Provider of the Year for 2015 for its outstanding value and service levels achieved over the past 12 months.
The Hillidge Road site was named the top monthly ranked of all audited sites an unprecedented three times throughout 2015 for value, achieving the best service provision for three quarters and Platinum status for the second consecutive quarter in Q4 2015.
The Leeds site achieved a 100% score measured on timing, late notifications, admin, line-up and valeting, resulting in them also being named Best Performing Auction Site for service in Q4. Westbury was named Best Performing Auction Site in terms of value for Q4 2015, after topping the value ranking tables in October and November.
The strong performance of all Aston Barclay sites was recognised by LeasePlan UK, with the Group achieving an extremely strong CAP Performance and conversion rate in Q4 2015.
The consistent high service levels of Aston Barclay’s Leeds, Prees Heath and Westbury sites throughout Q4 enabled the Group to receive a gold accreditation for the quarter, while Leeds and Westbury were the only measured sites to top the overall LeasePlan ranking table more than once throughout 2015.
Paul Mason, LeasePlan’s General Manager, Auction Sales, commented: “The fantastic performance of Aston Barclay’s Leeds site, both in Q4 2015 and throughout the year, means they wholly deserve our Auction Provider of the Year award. Strong performances across the entire group for the quarter completely justify another gold accreditation.”
Lisa Grimsley, Aston Barclay’s Remarketing Director (North), added: “After such a brilliant year for our Leeds site, we are delighted to receive LeasePlan’s Auction Provider of the Year accolade. We’ve continued to work extremely hard, not only at Leeds but at Prees Heath and Westbury, to ensure a high level of nationwide service and value for our customers.”
