BID FOR SUCCESS
IN THE MOTOR
INDUSTRY
The motor remarketing industry is attracting
high calibre recruits

T

he motor industry is a
vibrant and competitive
place to work but has
traditionally been perceived
as a male-dominated environment.
This may have applied in the past,
but these days the industry is
diversifying and appreciates
that attracting the biggest
minds and best skillsets
- irrespective of
gender - is far
more important.

Jo Nash, BCA Group HR Director,
underlines that a diverse recruitment
policy brings its own rewards in an
increasingly fast-moving and
demanding environment.
She says: 'Our people are our
business and BCA is embracing diversity
to attract and retain the right skills and
the best minds. We have women
in all areas of the business
including branch managers,
IT, ﬁnance, sales,
human resources, yard
managers, business
administration
managers and, of
course, auctioneers.
'Our customer
base ranges from Blue
Chip ﬂeets and ﬁnancial
institutions, to vehicle
manufacturers, government
departments, dealership groups,
independent garages and sole traders.
'We manage and sell physical vehicle
assets worth many millions of pounds
every day and at every stage of every
process have to be fully in control.
'What this means is we need a
dedicated and motivated workforce to
take on roles as diverse as HGV delivery
driving to high-tech app development,
and everything in between.'
If you are considering a career at BCA,
here are some of the roles that could be
the challenge you are looking for...

A
dedicated
and motivated
staff is essential
to keep business
running
smoothly

BCA is typical of
this approach. The
company serves the
wholesale usedvehicle sector, as a
marketplace where
customers buy and sell
used cars and vans.
The business is very
fast-moving and involves huge
volumes of vehicles sold swiftly and
efﬁciently using a range of remarketing
techniques including both physical
and online auctions. BCA operates in
12 countries, selling a million vehicles
annually and offers a vast range of
complementary services including
logistics, inventory and de-ﬂeet
management, buyer ﬁnance, dealer
systems and remarketing partnerships.
BCA also owns Webuyanycar.com, the
well-known car-buying service, and last year it
became a plc, trading as BCA Marketplace.
