City Auction Group has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment Zaiga Jinkinson as its new client relationship director.

Jinkinson has worked within Manheim for 30 years, with a track record for growing volume and profitability through enhanced customer service, innovation and business processes. Jinkinson was formerly auction centre manager and launched Manheim’s new Bruntingthorpe site in 2010, managing the site for seven years.

Jinkinson has also spent three years at Aston Barclay, where she opened a new flagship auction centre in the heart of Donnington Racetrack.

In her new role at City Auction Group, Zaiga will be responsible for cementing relationships with both motor industry professional buyers and corporate vendors, and will also be responsible for business process and improvement to support the group’s growth.

Jinkinson said: “This new opportunity aligns perfectly with my career aspirations and allows me to be part of a team that is thriving and expanding very quickly, across the UK and Northern Ireland. 

Michael Tomalin, CEO of City Auction Group commented: “Bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge in vehicle remarketing, Zaiga is a perfect fit with our business strategy of growth and world-class service levels.”
