Other improvements include a new purpose-built office mezzanine and an extension to the vehicle display canopy.

The plans also include a brand-new state-of-the-art Technical Services department with the capability for PDIs, vehicle inspections, SMART repairs, vehicle refurbishment, accident damage repair and valeting services.

Bob Anderson, managing director of SMA Group, said: 'This is another fantastic announcement for the group. We all feel that the investment in our auction centre at Leeds will confirm our position in the North of England as the number one auction centre of choice.'

Matt Gill, manager at Leeds, added: 'The developments will see Leeds being able to store over 300 cars under cover and the third auction lane will give us the ability to sell over 1,500 cars every week.'
Ronnie Stewart, technical services general manager, continued: 'I am delighted with the new facilities that the new Leeds technical services department will feature. We have a proven reputation for enhancing customers' vehicles within a very short time frame.'
The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
