CD Auction Group has appointed Graham Howes as its commercial director in the newly-created role.

Prior to joining the remarketing firm, he was sales director at auction company Copart UK and formerly worked as commercial director for both SMA Vehicle Remarketing and Paragon Automotive.

In his new role, he will be responsible for developing relationships with existing buyers.

“Graham has great experience in the sector and we are delighted to have him on board. He will be a very good addition to the team as we seek to build on the success of the last two years, doubling our sales volumes and rapidly expanding our vendor and buyer base,” said Andy Brown, director of CD Auction Group. “While we continue to grow and develop new products, it’s also important that we maintain the high quality, personal service to our existing customers that underpins our success.”
