Vehicle remarketing firm GRS is celebrating 'record' successes following its new year relaunch.

GRS signed up 139 new trade customers last month and sold a record 2,500 quality nearly new cars and vans to the trade.

Mike Pilkington, sales and marketing director, said: "GRS' success is due to the company's wide range of quality nearly new vehicles, its substantial investment in highly skilled staff and the very latest technology.

"We have also implemented six new customer service pledges, including a 'no see' guarantee which means GRS will replace any vehicle immediately if it doesn't meet the buyer's expectations."

He added that dealer could no longer spare the time to travel long distances to attend car auctions and very few will trade on-line, providing remarketers with a golden business opportunity.
