History of G3

G3: A Brief Introduction

G3 Remarketing Was Established In 2009 by Matthew Dale And Amanda Holtby

Having both worked for the largest auction houses in the industry for many years, together Matt and Amanda spotting a gap in the market for a tech-driven remarketing solution and G3 was born.  Initially launching as an online-only auction, the business grew quickly alongside the needs of the vendors and developed a new physical auction to simultaneously offer vehicles online and in the hall.
G3 Remarketing has since become one of the most innovative and dynamic electronic vehicle auction companies in the UK established to dispose of vehicles direct from fleet companies, finance houses and dealerships.
The physical auctions have become one of the highest attended in the region, building a loyal customer base as a result of enticing the biggest vendors in the UK to choose G3 as their remarketing partner.
With over sixty years experience within the automotive industry and a growing database of 15,000 buyers we source the best vehicles from the best suppliers. G3 Remarketing offer thousands of vehicles annually from A1s to Zafiras and if you can’t find what you are looking for, call our sales team who will source the relevant vehicle.

Although physical auctions will remain an integral part of the motor trade, when we started G3 advances in technology and user acceptance presented a greater opportunity to dispose and purchase vehicles via online auctions, 10 years on we're as keen as we ever have been to use our technology to provide cost-effective remarketing solutions for buyers and sellers alike.
