Auction Management Solutions (AMS) has added Richmond Auto Auction to its list of partners for business development consulting. The addition brings the AMS client list to 18 total locations.

After launching in 1967 as Motley’s Auctions in a Chester, Va., dairy barn by Dick and Pokey Motley, Richmond Auto Auction is now run by second generation owner Mark Motley. The auction now operates on 35 acres of land, offering the ability to run vehicles on seven simultaneous lanes.

“We are excited to be part of the AMS group of auctions,” Motley said. “We have spent a lot of time building a great base of dealer consignment business over the last several years, as well as some fleet /lease and repossession business, and feel that it is time now to start to expand deeper into the world of national consignors. We feel that AMS can be a great help to achieve our goals.”

The consulting firm works to partner with independent auctions to assist in growing their business, helping them to maximize their footprint in the market, and to increase profitability.  

“One of our goals here at AMS is to focus on providing our customers with the best service we can, while working through a proven sales strategy to help them grow their business,” Tom Stewart, president of Auction Management Solutions said.

Stewart will be working closely with Richmond Auto Auction assistant general manager Wyatt Carter to build further relationships within the industry.
