A record week of used car trading got 2018 off to a strong start for BCA as the remarketing specialist experienced increased buyer demand in strong New Year trading.

BCA’s previous sales record was smashed by around 10% as BCA sold 25,500 vehicles around its 24-site UK network during the second week of January. 

The business said in a stamen that all its sites had seen high levels of activity, from Blackbushe in the south to Glasgow in Scotland, often despite adverse weather conditions. 

The recently opened BCA Manchester Plot 2 also achieved record volume figures for the week as did Perry Barr – Birmingham, which officially opened one year ago.

Stuart Pearson, managing director of BCA UK Remarketing, said: “I would like to thank our seller customers for providing such a fantastic selection of vehicles during January and our buyers for supporting the BCA sales programme so strongly. 

“This really was a team effort with every part of the business – operations, logistics, remarketing and online sales teams, sales and marketing – having a critical role to play.”

Pearson added: “This record week at BCA underlines the strong demand for good quality used cars and vans that BCA has been reporting for many months now.”
