Autorola UK has appointed Brett Henderson and John Upson as national business development managers.
Henderson has worked in used car auctions for the past 14 years and joins from Aston Barclay, while Upson has worked in the automotive sector for two decades both for OEMs and in the remarketing sector. He joins from FCA.
Meanwhile Nick Wiseman has been appointed as a national business development manager for INDICATA to help continue its growth supplying OEMs and dealers with real time used car pricing and sales data.
Wiseman has spent the past 10 years in the motor finance, remarketing and automotive technology sectors.
INDICATA’s insightful used car data continues to prove invaluable to OEMs such as Skoda and Nissan and major dealer groups to further increase sales and profitability across their used car businesses.
This comes at a time when INDICATA reported an average 1.7% used car price rise in July and a 22% shortfall in dealer stock.
“Our business has reported strong growth for the past two years and unprecedented growth levels since the country came out of lockdown,” explained Jon Mitchell, Autorola UK’s group sales director.
“Our new sales team will further contribute to this growth as we anticipate used car sales will remain strong for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021.”
