CARMEL, Ind. -

ADESA announced on Monday that ADESA Northwest has been named the U.S. Bank 2015 Auction of the Year, Marine/RV Segment.

ADESA Northwest was known as Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction at the time of the award.

The auction has received this honor every year since U.S. Bank began awarding it in 2010 as a way to recognize its top specialty auctions.

Criteria to determine the winning auction include conversion rates, NADA retentions, and operational benchmarks such as days to transport and days to condition report.

“I would like to thank Jason Herman and the U.S. Bank team for their continued partnership and support, which have enabled us to achieve this award six years in a row,” said Mark Melton, general manager of ADESA Northwest.

“Jodi Rowland and the fleet lease team, our reconditioning team, the sales department and other teams at the auction have played instrumental roles in reaching and exceeding these benchmarks.”

Melton and Rowland, fleet lease manager, accepted the award on behalf of the ADESA Northwest staff earlier this month in Cincinnati. The trophy was presented by U.S. Bank representatives Herman, senior vice president, director of asset remarketing, and Mike Ryan, assistant vice president, auction sales and performance manager.
