He said: “I am thrilled to be joining Aston Barclay. Those who know me within the remarketing industry will tell you that I am passionate about implementing operational excellence to provide a first-class customer service.
“I look forward to working with our customers to maximise the conversion of their vehicles, as well as reducing the number of days it takes to sell them.”
Aston Barclay executive chairman Greg MacLeod said: “We have recently extended our operating hours to provide greater flexibility for customers, and Eddie’s appointment as COO further demonstrates our commitment to providing excellent customer service.
