BCA has confirmed that it is transferring business from its centres in Newport and Tewkesbury to the supercentre at Bridgwater just off junction 23 of the M5.

The 20-acre Bridgwater centre serves an active catchment area in the M5 corridor and into the south-west of the UK and will benefit from a significant boost to business as a result.

The facility has two auction halls and undercover viewing for 600 vehicles and like all BCA centres it offers Live Online for all sales.

A number of key staff have relocated from the Newport and Tewkesbury operations, and both facilities have been mothballed.

BCA’s UK managing director Andrew Hulme said: "We have taken the decision to focus our business objectives in the south-west onto our existing supercentre in Bridgwater, where we can offer all our customers a first class service in one of the best appointed remarketing facilities anywhere in the UK."

The Bridgwater sales programme has been expanded to four sale days each week with a new sale being added every Monday featuring budget priced vehicles from franchised dealers and vehicles National police authorities.
