Kinto appoints Aston Barclay as remarketing partner

Fleet management specialist Kinto has appointed Aston Barclay as an additional remarketing partner.

This collaboration will see Kinto's vehicles at Aston Barclay’s sales, beginning with the launch of the Wakefield fleet sale on August 2, followed by a secondary launch at Westbury on August 6.

The vehicles, expected to average £15,000 in stock value, will include a range of vehicle types such as light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and electric vehicles (EVs).

Blaine Colston, general manager of vehicle operations at Kinto, expressed said: “We are delighted to be working with Aston Barclay as an additional partner for our vehicle remarketing. It is important to us to work with partners that share our customer-first approach, and we feel the team at Aston Barclay will ensure that every customer touchpoint with a Kinto vehicle is a quality one.”

Colston said Aston Barclay’s reputation in physical auctions was a significant factor in the decision. “Aston Barclay’s heritage in physical auctions was a huge draw for us, as we believe there is still a significant benefit for some buyers of being able to look, touch, and inspect the vehicle ahead of placing a bid.”

Nick Thompson, chief customer officer at Aston Barclay, highlighted the benefits of the partnership: “To provide our customers with the best vehicle options for their business, we must work with vendors who can offer us quality stock, so we are delighted to be working with Kinto to remarket its products through our physical auctions. We know that stock from such a respected brand like Kinto UK will be very well received by our buyer base, and we look forward to working closely with the team to drive performance and conversion.”
