Doncaster-based CVA has opened a second auction venue in Toddington
Words: Kevin Swallow
DONCASTER-BASED Commercial Vehicle Auctions (CVA) has opened a second auction venue at Toddington near J12 off the M1. The Ballyveseyowned auctioneer is targeting the Home Counties and along the M4 corridor, and is using the premises of sister company and Mercedes-Benz dealer Intercounty.
CVA MD Adrian Yates says: “Our intention is to establish it as a regular date both in vendors’ and buyers’ diaries and then to apply any lessons we learn there to the roll out of auctions at other strategic locations. A number of national companies with vehicles for sale in the north and south of the country have committed to supporting our auctions at both Toddington and Doncaster,” he adds.
Operating solely from Doncaster CVA recognised it was able to operate successfully in the north of the UK, however, utilising vehicle disposal in the south was a problem. “The customers were right, there was no real solution for our customers in the south to work with a company like CVA,” he says. ■
