BCA Walsall scoops Lex award

The team at BCA Walsall are celebrating after being named best performing auction centre by major customer Lex. The annual Lex Cup was awarded to BCA manager Jim Wilson by Lex’s National Auction Manager, Ken Boothe on 21 January.

Lex runs one of the biggest vehicle fleets in the UK, selling around 80,000 vehicles a year through auction. This annual award is made to recognise the very best service and results delivered by an auction centre.

The award is calculated on a sale-by-sale basis by the Lex auction managers, who award points across five specific areas of the business including price achieved. Once all the results were in, BCA Walsall was the clear winner.

Walsall hosts two Lex car sales every week, handling around 500 vehicles a month and regularly selling over 85% of the entry on behalf of Lex.

Lex’s Ken Boothe commented “It is a great pleasure to award this year’s Lex Cup to BCA Walsall. As one of BCA’s smaller centres, the team always strive to deliver the very best service and go the extra mile for customers. The management and the staff at Walsall demonstrated the maximum commitment to the Lex accounts throughout 2007 and – equally importantly - generated the buying power on the auction hall floor to deliver real results.”

BCA’s Jim Wilson, receiving the cup on behalf of BCA Walsall commented: “On behalf of everybody at Walsall, I would like to say how proud we all are to receive this commendation from such an important customer.”
