Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK Remarketing commented “Professional buyer interest at BCA continues to be exceptionally strong for lcvs and we continue to enhance our LCV cataloguing, our grading process and our online buyer services to support the largest registered buyer base for light commercial vehicles in the UK.â€
He added “Traditionally, August has been one of the quieter months for LCV sales, with school holidays and the late summer Bank Holiday understandably impacting trade activity.  However, the normal seasonal patterns have all but disappeared in 2021 and competition remains incredibly strong for any vehicle that is ready to go to work. These market changes underline just how significantly the remarketing sector is evolving to meet the changing needs of our customers.â€
He added “Bidding on lcvs at BCA has consistently outperformed guide price expectations over recent months and August was no exception with incredibly strong conversions fuelling average values to over 103% of guide across the board. BCA’s Decision Intelligence team are keeping abreast of the current evolving picture in the wholesale LCV sector and providing sellers with real-time data to inform remarketing decisions.â€
