Auction Broadcasting Co. recently announced a new general manager for its ABC Baton Rouge location. Hired for the position was Colin Chancellor, whose background in the auction business goes back more than 22 years.

Chancellor started his auction career in November 1993 working for Stuart Frankenthal, who owned both Louisville and Cincinnati Auto Auctions, as the dealer sales manager at the Clarskville, Ind. location.

After the auctions were sold to Manheim, Chancellor would become assistant general manager at Manheim Louisville. He became GM of Manheim Flint in September 2005. Chancellor managed that location for nearly five years and also worked as branch manager at TRA Flint and regional manager in Michigan and Florida.

In 2012, Chancellor moved over to Copart Dealer Services, where he was a regional manager for two years.

In his new post, Chancellor will head up day-to-day operations and oversee the performance of the auction.
