Yorkshire vehicle auctioneer invests £500k and creates jobs with new fleet

A Yorkshire vehicle auctioneer has invested £500k in a fleet of multi-car transporters creating an additional 10 jobs.

G3 Vehicle Auctions, based in Castleford, has launched a fleet of specialist car transporters in the first phase of a logistics expansion required to support the growth of their £12m 14 acre marketplace.

The initial £500k investment will accommodate the firm’s growing vendor roster and their use of G3’s strategic network of 30+ storage centres across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The strategic acquisition will deliver improved efficiencies in vehicle movements, customer service delivery and commercial economics.

Steve Morton, transport manager, G3 commented: “We are all excited to welcome this fleet into the business and we have already received plenty of great feedback from customers in the first week of operating.

“The addition of these impressive new trucks, alongside the new drivers and myself to the team is just the start of the expansion plans the company have for the future.

“Being based out of this fantastic new auction centre in Castleford shows how G3 are perfectly placed to serve the whole of the UK with ease.”

The investment assists the business in reaching their target of 50,000 vehicles a year passing through their G3 Castleford centre.

The second phase of the fleet will see multiple two-vehicle transporters added, which are currently in production and due to be delivered to G3 in the coming weeks.
