Mark Hankey, sales director at BCA, will be leaving in 2013 when he and his wife Sue emigrate to Australia.

Hankey has been with BCA for more than 20 years but has taken a decision to pursue a new opportunity and life in Australia where he will join Manheim.

Andrew Hulme, managing director at BCA, said: “Mark will fulfil his commitments and work with us well into the New Year to ensure an orderly transition and in the meantime, it is business as usual.

“Mark has been a terrific asset to BCA over the past 20 years and his fellow directors and colleagues around the company wish him and Sue all the very best in their new life Down Under.”
