Nick Franklin has been appointed as head of business development by auction firm Aston Barclay.
Franklin is said to have a wealth of experience in running national sales and go-to-market teams, for companies such as Autoprotect, Smart insurance, Mapfre Abraxas, and The Warranty Group.
He will be tasked with demonstrating what Aston Barclay can offer to dealer groups and manufacturers.
Franklin said: “I am proud to join such a progressive company and have been impressed with Aston Barclay’s omnichannel approach.
The digital innovation which perfectly complements the return to physical auction post-lockdown is certainly turning heads.
“I am looking forward to helping Aston Barclay generate more vendors and building on its already impressive client base.”
