Motor auctions are the first subject to be covered by a series of \u201cFocus on\u2026\u201d webinars being held by the Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) through to the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking place at 10.00 am on Wednesday 8th<\/sup> September, the keynote speaker will be James Buxton, COO at Carzam, who will be bringing a customer perspective of working with auctions, including the pre-and post-pandemic picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring leading auction companies who are VRA members including Richard Cross, sales director, Aston Barclay; Matt Dale, co-owner and director, G3 Remarketing; and Ian Nicholls, area general manager, Manheim Auctions. They will look at current issues and opportunities facing motor auctions, as well as the future of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least two more Focus on\u2026 webinars are planned before the end of the year, covering transport and logistics, and vehicle reconditioning. Each is planned to last around 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Philip Nothard, chair at the VRA, said: \u201cThis new, short series of seminars is designed to look in-depth at both recent developments and the years ahead for some of the key sectors within remarketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStarting with auctions seems appropriate. Perhaps no other part of the VRA has been so radically affected by different aspects of the pandemic, yet appears to be emerging in a position of relative strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBoth James Buxton\u2019s presentation and the panel discussion should be highly informative and I am sure that our members will find the webinar extremely useful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n More information about the briefings and joining the VRA can be obtained by emailing info@thevra.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
