The firm plans to offer 0% vendor’s commission on specific sales, settlement time down from eight working days to three, dedicated account managers for each entry and three different types of sale for clients to choose from.
The first of the three different types of sale is the specialist. These will be at prestigious venues and include pre-event receptions, lavish catalogues, national advertising and a vendor’s commission of 6%.
General sales will be held at accessible locations around the country, will feature a broad selection of vehicles and will attract a 0% vendor’s commission.

Details of the last sale type, open sales, are currently being kept under wraps but these too will have a vendor’s commission of 0%.
