Manheim Auction Services has updated its car and LCV nationwide auction programme with a revised hybrid set-up to support changing buyer requirements.

All sales are now open to physical trade buyers or can be attended online via Simulcast.

Introduced in response to customer feedback, the new hybrid programme will see Manheim offer over 120 auctions per month from 10 locations, and with stock from over 1,000 vendor sources.

Managing director Liam Quegan said: “This new programme reflects the feedback we’ve had from customers over the last few months. They’ve told us they want a hybrid offer with the choice to buy physically or online with sales that are packed with stock from vendors they rate, both locally and nationwide. We’ve listened and acted on this feedback to create the largest physical auction programme in the UK.

“In addition to all sales now being open for trade buyers to join us in the lanes, we’ve reconfigured the programme to create sales that will feature more stock from more vendors to deliver a more efficient, more energetic experience. Essentially, we’re giving buyers access to all the stock we represent in the most efficient way possible, and the choice as to how they buy.”

Manheim’s auction sites span locations ranging from Birmingham, Bristol and Colchester, through to Leeds, Manchester, Northampton, Plymouth, Shepshed, Shotts and Washington.

The sales programme also includes Buy Now and Bid Now events, giving buyers online access to a pool of vehicles 24/7.
