Scottish Motor Auctions is claiming to be bucking the recession with year-on-year growth of more than 10%.

The firm, which claims to be UK’s largest independent motor auction group, claims to currently be auctioning more than 25,000 cars per month across its sites in Kinross, Livingstone, Newcastle and Leeds.

“While the web, and all the new innovations it brings, is certainly part of our industry’s future, I firmly believe our continued success is borne out of relatively simple work ethics; to work hard to deliver an unrivalled service to both sellers and buyers in the most cost-effective manner,” said SMA boss Bob Anderson.
