“This industry is dynamic and ever evolving, and NAMA seeks to represent motor auction companies, of all sizes. That’s why, as an organisation, we never sit still – wanting to continuously improve, proactively engaging in key issues, and setting clear best practice standards. I look forward to pushing the organisation forward and working closely with my peers to set the standards of motor auctions across the UK.”
