Aston Barclay has appointed an EV lead to help support buyers and sellers at auction.
Albert Parnell joins Aston Barclay after spending five years at Tesla, where he was initially a product specialist before becoming store manager at Tesla Chelmsford. Prior to that, he worked for Apple.
Parnell’s appointment represents another investment in buyer engagement from the group, following the introduction of Buyer Executives at each site.
Albert will be on site for every EV sale, ready to support buyers with any questions they, or their customers, may have.
Aston Barclay was one of the first auctions to announce an EV only auction at Donington in April and Parnell will be facilitating training for Aston Barclay’s auction colleagues. Over 160 colleagues will be IMI Level 1 trained by the end of 2023.
“I am excited to join Aston Barclay as it embarks on its own journey to become the most trusted EV remarketing partner. The EV sector is constantly changing, and my job will be to use my knowledge and contacts to keep colleagues and customers one step ahead of the game,” said Parnell.
