Southeastern Auto Auction’s president and chief executive officer announced the appointment of a newly created position of vice president of operations. Wayne DeLoach, the auction’s president, said that Bill McCready, formerly of Charleston Auto Auction in South Carolina, will take on the responsibility of the new VP position at Southeastern, where McCready will be accountable for driving business efficiencies and overseeing all auction operations.

“I am excited to be part of this fast growing organization,” McCready said. “Although the auction has been successful for over 25 years, owners Wayne (DeLoach), Tommy (Childs) and Danny (Williams) are dedicated to taking Southeastern Auto Auction to the next level. This past month we have implemented numerous types of technology that are new to this auction.”

Included in the changes are the updated website as well as physical renovations to the auction’s office, building and arena, set to be completed by the first of the upcoming year.

“We are thrilled to have Bill and all the experience that comes with him,” DeLoach said. “His background in marketing has already been demonstrated with numerous promotions scheduled for 2015. Bill will be working closely with our general manager Donnie Bazemore, and newly promoted assistant general manager Corey Fletcher. Donnie has been with the auction for 18 years and Corey, a graduate of Georgia Southern University with Cum Laude honors, has been with the auction for six years.”

McCready brings over 10 years of experience to the auction, including being an IARA Certified Automotive Remarketer.
