BCA re-opens in Tewkesbury

British Car Auctions (BCA) is re-opening for business in Tewkesbury, following the temporary closure last year as a result of severe flood damage. The centre, located in Northgate Lane, was closed for seven months while repairs and refurbishment took place following the severe flooding in the area.

The auction centre will open in the week commencing 21st April, and the first sale at the refurbished BCA Tewkesbury will be held on Friday 25 April 2008 at 10.00am. The centre is also introducing a brand-new Tuesday evening sale, the first of which will be on Tuesday 29 April at 6.00pm. Thereafter sales will take place every Friday at 10.00am and every Tuesday at 6.00pm.

The first car to be sold on Friday 25th April will be donated by BCA to raise money for the leading local community flood relief fund. All the proceeds from the sale of this car will be donated in support of those residents and members of the local community most disadvantaged by the floods.

BCA’s UK Network Operations Director, Simon Henstock, commented: “While we are delighted to have our Tewkesbury centre back in business, we are acutely aware that many residents are not so lucky and have yet to return to their homes. We think it appropriate that the first car we sell is donated by us with all the proceeds going to those local charities who have provided essential help to local residents following the floods.”
