Manheim appoints Allen to head of dealer for inventory solutions

Cox Automotive Australia head of dealer auction for Australia Scott Allen has been appointed to a new role after joining the company 12 months ago.

Allen has been appointed to the position of head of dealer for inventory solutions.

This role will see him take responsibility for both the dealer auction brand and the passenger and commercial vehicle dealer business within Manheim.

“The merging of these two focus areas for the Inventory Solutions business, allows us to offer both franchised and independent dealers a solution based sales approach, to best suit their individual needs,” says Cox Automotive Australia and New Zealand marketing and communications director Mathew McAuley.

“We can offer them buying and selling options to support their business model, via our more traditional channels at Manheim or the 100% digital channels at Dealer Auction, or indeed a mixture of both.

“By aligning these functions under a central sales leadership model, we can better serve our customers and expand the capability and the reach of our dealer sales teams.

“Under Scott’s supervision, dealer auction will continue its roll out across the rest of Australia over the coming months following the extremely successful launch in QLD last year.

“Scott and his team look forward to assisting both Franchised and Independent dealers with their buying and selling needs,” McAuley says.
