Manheim has scheduled the UK’s first double-block vehicle auction in September at its redeveloped auction centre in Bruntingthorpe . Double-block sales offer two vehicles at the same time by utilizing two lanes.
The remarketing firm says offering vehicles at four rostrums over two lanes will increase the single sale capacity at Manheim Bruntingthorpe to 1,500 vehicles.The Cox Automotive business has made a multi-million pound investment to redevelop Manheim Bruntingthorpe. In addition to increased capacity the upgraded facility aims to create a showroom-level environment.
Tim Hudson, managing director of Inventory Solutions at Cox Automotive UK, said: “We are creating a unique auction centre at Manheim Bruntingthorpe, which will without doubt provide the best experience for buyers and vendors anywhere in the UK. The industry-first introduction of double-blocking will maximise prime time selling opportunities, increase stock throughput for our clients, and ultimately help them to sell more vehicles, more quickly and more profitably.
Tim concluded: “We will provide the best auction experience in the UK with friendly and personal customer service, combined with a seamless buying process, with smart technology that will provide a great amount of information about the vehicles at each rostrum in each lane for both in-hall and online buyers.”
