Click the thumbs up > Aston Barclay has announced plans to welcome physical buyers back to its auction halls from Monday (April 12), while following Government Covid-19 measures. The auction group said its decision to return to physical auctions was supported by a survey of buyers where 84% of 673 respondents (582 buyers) said they would attend future physical auctions. Aston Barclay said it plans to introduce physical sales gradually, with buyers able to attend dealer part-exchange, Motability, and light commercial sales to view vehicles and bid in the auction halls across its auction network. Meanwhile, all ex-fleet, leasing and OEM sales will continue online, with buyers being invited to the halls to view fleet and lease stock prior to the sale. OEM stock will remain offsite.
