Our Northern Powerhouse in Wakefield is the remarketing destination of choice in the North of England.
The purpose-built 18-acre site boasts twin auction halls, state of the art digital bidding facilities, fully enclosed undercover viewing for 200 vehicles, as well as a customer restaurant.
Opened in January 2019, Wakefield is home to our Marketing, central Buyer Services, Digital Solutions, Finance and HR functions, as well as being the new home for The Car Buying Group.
Two dealer sales and one fleet sale each week offer 100's of vehicles from our longstanding vendors as well as new additions to our programme following our January 2019 acquisition of Independent Motor Auctions, all of whose vendors and team joined us in Wakefield.
