Scott Morrow has assumed the role as operations manager for Akron Auto Auction, overseeing the recon department, lot crew, security department, condition reporting, and the outside repossession department operations.

Morrow, who has been with AAA for 23 years, will be responsible for all the auction's outside operations and functionality on sale day.

Starting his auction career as a member of the reconditioning staff, Morrow went on to serve as recon manager and lot manager for AAA. He said he has seen a great deal of growth in the company.

A member of the ServNet Auction Group, Akron Auto Auction includes six auction lanes and four separate buildings on 30 acres. The facility includes a full transportation department, reconditioning department, inspection department and floor planning services.

An average of 1,200 vehicles cross the block every Tuesday. Those include consignments from banks, fleet/lease companies and GSA, along with vehicles from Midwest new and used car dealers.

“This new role will allow me the freedom to implement new strategies that will streamline operations and improve the sale day experience,” Morrow said in a news release.

He also said, “I am looking forward to helping this auction’s growing trend to continue. This auction has always been very family-oriented and has always made me feel an important member of the team.”

On that family theme, multiple members of Morrow’s family work alongside him at the auction.

His mother, Becky, works in the registration department, his aunt Kim works in the auction’s cafeteria, and his daughter, Kayla, has worked in several positions while home from college on summer break.

“It's an added bonus that I have the opportunity to combine my family with my work family,” Morrow said. “I had no idea when I started here at 18 years old that my career would develop into what it has today. I could not be happier that it has.”
