The Hillidge Road site was named the top monthly ranked of all audited sites 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 consistent high service levels of Aston Barclay’s Leeds, Prees Heath and Westbury sites throughout Q4 also 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.”
