New Senior Management at CD Auction Group Ltd Karl Howkins, the former Managing Director of Citroen UK, has joined SMH Fleet Solutions Ltd as Managing Director of auction services. He will lead CD Auction Group on the next stage of its development and integration into the SMH Group. Andy Brown, managing director since June 2014 is retiring at the end of September and will hand over the reigns of the business to Karl between now and then.

Karl, has previously held leadership roles for Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat Chrysler, in the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands. In his new role, he will lead the company’s expansion plans with further investment in digital platforms and physical infrastructure. CD Auction Group currently operates across five sites in the UK, with onsite refurbishment and digital remarketing facilities.

Andy Brown said: “My 6 years with the business has been great, increasing business volumes during that time, then following the acquisition by SMH having the opportunity to expand our footprint across the UK utilising SMH sites and developing our off-site product. The business has a great platform from which to further grow in size and scale. I am really looking forward to my retirement and will watch the further expansion of the business with interest.”

Martin McAuley, managing director at SMH Fleet Solutions, said: "Karl brings a wealth of experience to the group. He will further lead the integration of CD Auctions into the wider business. It is the right time to expand our management team as we accelerate our plans and ambitions for the future. We will 10

continue to grow our technology capabilities while building out our footprint across the UK to provide best in class services to meet all of our customers’ vehicle management needs. I would like to thank Andy Brown as he retires in September, for all his efforts in growing CD Auction Group”.

CD Auction Group is uniquely placed in the industry with its digital-only offering that is a great fit for the future needs of fleets, dealers and OEMs. The current Covid-19 crisis has heightened awareness of the ease of buying online, subject to accurate images and information on vehicles being sold, something we at CD Auction have been developing over the last few years.

Our remote sales capability means far fewer links in the chain between defleet and dealer forecourt, which provides a faster, leaner and more efficient process. It's a process that will continue to expand over the coming months and evolve across the SMH Group.

I am sure you will join me in welcoming Karl to CD Auction Group, and can I put on record to all of you my thanks for your business and support over the last 6 years.

30 Years of Hilditch The Premiere Medical Auctioneer in Britain The Hilditch Group celebrate its 30th anniversary this Summer, making it the longest running medical equipment auctioneer in Britain.

Established in June 1990 by Mike and Nicky Hilditch, it has grown to be the largest auctioneer of healthcare equipment in Europe and a key partner to the majority of NHS trusts in the UK, working as a sales agent on their behalf to maximise asset value for the sale and removal of all medical assets.

Working as a freelance auctioneer in the UK and South Africa, Mike was struck that the standards of professionalism varied considerably across auction houses. In essence anyone can call themselves an auctioneer with no formal training and no qualifications, leading to a disparity between companies and the level of service that they offered. Mike and Nicky made it their aim to establish the most professionally managed commercial auction house in the UK. An accomplishment that they have undoubtably achieved, with professionalism being very much at the heart of the company’s ethos today. The organisation was originally set up as a general and commercial salesroom; offering sales in plant and machinery, general household and antiques and commercial catering equipment. In the early days the organisation even held sales in horses, a throwback from Mike’s days working in livestock auctions. Starting with a modest 5 staff members, this quickly grew to 8 in the first year and now employs almost 50.

It was during the second year whilst clearing a kitchen for a local hospital that Mike noticed whilst the hospital was happy to sell the catering equipment, they would, however, not permit the sale of redundant surgical trolleys, instead these were simply thrown into a skip. From that moment the seed of an idea was planted and the Hilditch Group started researching the medical market. At that time the majority of hospitals disposed of all their medical equipment, regardless of condition, due to a general fear of liability. It took several years for Hilditch as an organisation to persuade a handful of hospitals to consider the resale of their redundant medical equipment as an option. The equipment was sold to a large number of overseas buyers, who normally would not have been able to afford new equipment. Most of these buyers are still trusted customers today. As a result, huge quantities of equipment were given an extended life, landfill and recycling was reduced. These days the reasons for resale of medical equipment have taken on even more pertinence as we are all much more aware of the waste in our society. The expansion of the company was initially slow as NHS trusts took a long time to consider the implications of resale. The introduction of the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) legislation sped the process up, as hospitals considered how they could reduce waste and fulfil their obligations.

Many new hospitals were built over subsequent years as part of the PFI initiative, which resulted in large numbers of redundant assets being surplus to requirements. The Hilditch Group was invited to work with the Department of Health to promote the re-use of equipment as part of the NHS’ waste management strategy. As the Hilditch Group offers a complete site clearance service they manage the sale and disposal of the entire contents of old hospital sites and with a fleet of their own vehicles and experienced drivers, the Hilditch Group can clear medical equipment from a site of any size.

Innovation has always been key to the company’s success, they were one of the first auction houses to offer Timed Online Auctions, developing their own bidding system years before any other auctioneers.

Mike also was involved in establishing the National Association of Auctioneers and Valuers (NAVA), an organisation dedicated to improving the professional status of auctioneers and upholding the highest standards of service delivery. Now a Fellow of the Association, he is very keen that his valuers take the NAVA exams and carry out regular CPD courses to improve their skills.

The Hilditch Group have continued to innovate and add customer value over the decades including the addition of the in-house medical engineering department around 20 years ago. The qualified and accredited medical engineering staff have extensive experience and provide a wide range medical engineering services and support for both on and off-site requirements, including: long term maintenance of medical equipment, with planned preventative maintenance contracts (PPMC's), equipment testing and condition

reporting, inventories and assessments, and medical decontamination.

In the past 10 years the company has grown exponentially, expanding its customer base to include, not only most of the public and hospitals, but also manufacturers, banks and lease companies. The organisation has expanded into western Europe with offices in Spain (Hilditch Iberia), France and Germany. This growth does not seem to be slowing down either as the Hilditch Group now has over 20,000 registered buyers from 182 different countries, and can guarantee the largest number of buyers for your redundant medical equipment. With around 30 individual auctions and over 2,000 lots of highquality used and ex-demonstration items per month. the Hilditch Group is the foremost authority in the market for the re-sale of biomedical devices, helping clients generate revenue and release equity from old equipment.

No other medical device asset manager has such and extensive range of services for your health care establishment; the Hilditch Group remains the premiere medical equipment auctioneer in the United Kingdom.
