G3 Vehicle Auctions presses ahead with new facility

G3 Vehicle Auctions is pressing ahead with its new purpose-built facility, located off Junction 32 of the M62 in Yorkshire.

Independently owned and operated by seasoned industry experts Matt Dale and Amanda Holtby, G3 are investing in the UK’s largest purpose-built independent auction and refurbishment development for over 20 years.

Construction on the 14-acre site began in March with completion and public launch scheduled for January 2021.

The new facility will have the capacity to annually remarketing 50,000 vehicles when fully operational, more than doubling the company’s current capacity.

Located within the M1, M62, A1 triangle, the new auction destination is a highly-visible footprint, which offers easy access from across the north and beyond with its excellent transport links.

The site includes infrastructure for the future, with scalable facilities for up to 250 EV fast-charge points to support the expected demand for electric and hybrid vehicle remarketing, whilst incorporating eco-friendly credentials with solutions such as solar power and water recycling.

Joint managing director Matt Dale said: “It’s exciting to be able to announce this ‘good news story’ to the industry. While there has been a seismic shift to online-only auctions in reaction to the events of this year, we truly believe that a mix of digital and physical solutions will be essential to supporting the automotive trade long into the future and that’s exactly why we’re investing heavily to create a true omni-channel experience to seamlessly merge both in our ever-changing industry.”

“Everything we’re building is customer-centric, so it’s been imperative to us throughout the design process that we really harness the essence of what has made our G3 auction events so popular in recent years.

“The centre will be packed with technology that has genuine purpose to help us open the best remarketing, refurbishment & asset management experience anywhere in the UK.”
