Vehicle remarketer Manheim has signed a two-year deal with Heritage Automotive for the supply of part-exchange vehicles to its Bristol auction centre.
Heritage Automotive has 11 sites across South West England, and holds franchises for Audi, Skoda, and Volkswagen vehicles.
Manheim’s auction centre offers 75,000 used cars, and the deal will see 3,000 part exchange vehicles be supplied to Manheim each year.
Darren Cook, used car director from Heritage Automotive said: “We are very pleased to be continuing our relationship with Manheim, which holds very similar values.”
Tim Hudson, managing director of inventory solutions at Cox Automotive UK, Manheim’s parent, said: “We have made a huge investment in the Manheim Bristol auction centre in the past year. Our new inspection system and 360-degree imagery booths present every vehicle in the best possible way and our team members work hard to deliver the greatest performance and service for our customers.”
