BCA will expand its Live Online availability further in 2010 with more sales sections being broadcast, said the auction company.

Tony Gannon, BCA communications director, said: "With nearly every corporate sale section available via Live Online, buyers need not miss out on a vehicle, no matter where it is in our network. Stock location is even easier with the revamped Auction View facility available.”

He expects “a lot if interest from professional buyers in January” and BCA has prepared by planning its “biggest ever sales programme for the start of the year”.

Gannon added: “Our Fast-Start programme ensures we are ready to meet the demands of buyers with a great selection of stock from our corporate sellers on the very first trading day of the year."

Up to 20,000 vehicles will be offered in the first week of January, he said.
