Major milestones in our history so far…
Established in 2009 by Matthew Dale and Amanda Holtby, G3 Vehicle Auctions was created to launch a digital auction at a time when physical was all the industry knew. Leading the way in the advancement of vehicle remarketing, G3 has become one of the most innovative and dynamic vehicle auction companies in the UK, chosen by vendors and buyers alike for our exceptional service. Fast forward 15 years and G3 is a unique hybrid of both auctioneer-led sale events simultaneously across 2 lanes in the hall and online.
