BCA has strengthened its commercial vehicle sales team with the appointments of Dominic Burr and Jonathan Earp.

Burr has taken the new role of general manager, Belle Vue Commercials and Measham Commercials, while Earp has joined BCA from CVA Doncaster as a management trainee.

Burr, who has been with the company since 2002, takes on responsibility for the two commercial vehicle sales centres at Belle Vue, Manchester and Measham, reporting directly to regional operations director Duncan Ward. 

Ward retains overall responsibility for BCA’s commercial vehicle sales programme which operates at eight centres nationwide.

Meanwhile, senior group commercial auctioneer Charles Sheffield is retiring from full-time employment following a 40-year-plus career with BCA that included managing the Measham Commercial Centre for a 20-year period until 2010.

Sheffield will remain as a part-time consultant to the BCA commercial vehicle team, primarily based at Measham and Belle Vue.

Ward said: “We would also like to wish Charles Sheffield well on his retirement.

"Charles has been an important part of our team and his wide-ranging knowledge of the commercial vehicle sector has been pivotal in developing BCA’s market-leading commercial vehicle sale team.

"We are delighted that he will remain as a part-time consultant, meaning we can continue to benefit from his experience.”
