IMDA Partnership Confirmed

24th July 2026

We are delighted to announce our partnership with the The IMDA (Independent Motor Dealers Association) reinforcing our commitment to supporting the independent dealer network across the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. 

Michael Tomalin CEO stated ‘Independent dealers remain the backbone of the used vehicle industry and we are committed to providing access to quality stock, transparent buying, exceptional customer service and a modern remarketing experience through our powerhouse centres in Peterborough and Belfast. We believe in building long term partnerships with total respect with zero ambiguity, not simply completing transactions.’

To celebrate our new partnership with the IMDA we are pleased to introduce an exclusive introductory offer for IMDA members who are not currently trading with City Auction Group.’

🚘 Open a new City Auction Group buyer account and purchase your first vehicle at either our Peterborough or Belfast auction centre for a reduced buyer fee of just £199.

As a new City Auction Group customer you’ll also benefit from:

⭐ Access to hundreds of quality vehicles every week from leading leasing companies, finance houses, fleet operators, franchised dealer groups and corporate vendors.
⭐ Physical auction excitement combined with our market leading streamed live online bidding platform.
⭐ A dedicated account management team focused on helping independent dealers source stock successfully.
⭐ Transparent buying with nationwide logistics and delivery solutions available through PurpleRock.  

We look forward to welcoming The IMDA members into the purple lane and demonstrating why more dealers continue to choose City Auction Group as their remarketing partner of choice 🙌
