Manheim’s Gloucester auction centre has won LeasePlan’s supplier excellence award for LCV Auction Provider of the Year, for the second year running.

LeasePlan’s van auction accreditation framework is said to capture and reflect the complex interrelation of the factors that contribute to a successful auction centre.

Paul Mason, general manager auction sales, LeasePlan, said: "LeasePlan’s remarketing strategy is entirely focused on driving increased buyer focus, activity and loyalty.

"At all times we strive to offer the strongest auction entry and always market to the widest buyer audience. Our supplier accreditation process goes beyond this.

"As well as focusing on a number of key performance indicators, it captures the essence of what class-leading results and performances actually mean to LeasePlan.

"The results from Manheim Auctions Gloucester speak for themselves and I would like to thank the team on behalf of LeasePlan for its continued commitment and dedication.”

James Davis, director of commercial vehicles, Manheim Remarketing, added: "Manheim Auctions Gloucester has achieved the accolade of LeasePlan LCV Auction Provider of the Year for two consecutive years. To win these awards is not only a fantastic result for the Gloucester team, but clear proof that LeasePlan’s disposal team – in partnership with Manheim – is leading the way in the UK van auction marketplace.”

LeasePlan has a regular van auction programme with Manheim Auctions, at both Gloucester and Haydock. Manheim holds in excess of 600 commercial vehicle auctions each year through its network of seven dedicated van auction centres.
