Volvo Car UK Announces Restructured Wholesale Used Car Division

September 15, 2017 by Volvo

Volvo has reorganised its Wholesale Used Car operations, as part of its continued drive to extend its used car business in the UK.

From today, all of Volvo Car UK's remarketing will be carried out in-house by a newly created Wholesale Used Car department. This will be headed up by Volvo's Remarketing and Total Cost of Ownership Manager, Graeme Oswald.

Graeme will be supported by three new appointments. Natasha Berry joins Volvo as Wholesale Used Car Executive from BCA (British Car Auctions), who formerly operated the remarketing on behalf on Volvo. Natasha worked on the Volvo account at BCA for two years, where she developed excellent relationships with the Volvo dealer network.

The second Wholesale Used Car Executive is James Sion, who previously worked for FCA Bank as a Remarketing Specialist.

Completing the Wholesale Used Car team is Jack O'Callaghan, who takes on the role of Used Car Analyst. Jack moves from Volvo Car UK's finance department, where he was involved in used car financial reporting.

These changes will result in more integrated and efficient remarketing processes. Both Natasha and James will also act as a designated point of contact with the dealer network and Volvo's existing Used Car Development team, further improving communication across Volvo's operations.

Matt Galvin, Head of Retail Sales for Volvo Car UK, said: 'Used cars and residual value management are a big focus for Volvo, and these changes will enable us to provide a more joined-up approach to our used car operations. This substantial investment underlines the importance Volvo places on remarketing our cars to our dealer network, and the role that plays in helping them put used cars at the heart of their business.'
