TrustFord Enhances Auction Services with Wilsons Auctions

Wilsons Auctions is delighted to announce the arrival of TrustFord’s fortnightly auctions at the auction group’s Headquarters.

The first auction will take place at Wilsons Auctions Belfast on Wednesday 23rd April at 10am, offering bidders and buyers a wide selection of used vehicles. Not only that, TrustFord will also be entering commercial vehicles to auction, with the first entries available to bidders on Tuesday 29^th April at 11am. The auctions are open to the public and fresh entries will be offered on a fortnightly auction programme. An estimated 60 vehicles are expected to go through auction each month, providing buyers with a consistent supply of high-quality used stock.

TrustFord, the world's largest Ford dealer group, and Wilsons Auctions have been valued partners from 2021. The new solus auction agreement will see Wilsons Auctions continue to manage the disposal of part exchange vehicles and surplus retail stock from the six dealerships located across Northern Ireland.

John Ardill, NI General Manager and Auctioneer at Wilsons Auctions went on to say: "We are thrilled to welcome TrustFord to our Belfast branch. This expansion reinforces the exceptional work our specialist car department undertakes for its vendors, and we are confident that TrustFord will benefit from Wilsons Auctions' proven expertise right from the outset."

“The vehicles offered at our Portadown branch have proved successful since the partnership began in 2021 and I hope it will be the same story with the selection of vehicles now available at our Belfast branch.”

John Yarwood, Group Disposals Manager at TrustFord commented: “Working with Wilsons Auctions Portadown over the past number of years has highlighted its unrivalled service in the used vehicle sector. Offering a clear, open, and transparent sales process, the decision to move into their Belfast branch is exciting for us and we look forward to launching.”
