AUCTION firm Aston Barclay has appointed Martin Potter to take the helm of its Chelmsford auction site.
Potter has more than 20 years experience in the industry with a number of senior operational and sales roles, most recently with Manheim as corporate sales director.
He follows the appointment of Tim Hudson last year as another one of Aston Barclay’s ‘big signings’.
Potter said: ‘What Tim and the team have achieved here, in such a relative short space of time, is phenomenal. The entire business has made massive strides which have been well noted in the industry.
‘Aston Barclay is a family owned business that has real drive and ambition, and those are factors which truly appeal to me. Tim and the team provide a high level of service whilst maintaining personal relationships with all customers, ethics which I passionately believe in.’
Hudson, Aston Barclay’s managing director, said: ‘You simply can’t understate the value of Martin’s appointment to the company, he brings with him a vast wealth of experience and arguably one of the finest reputations in the industry.
‘I know his immediate input will again take our Chelmsford operation to another level and I am delighted to welcome him on board.’
