Greater Erie AA promotes rep to manager post

Greater Erie Auto Auction recently announced that the operation has promoted Ryan Russell to assistant general manager/sales manager. Russell, who was formally a territory sales representative for the auction, brings more than 15 years of auction experience to his new role.
Russell came to Greater Erie AA six years ago as he previously worked for ADESA as a dealer sales and service rep at its location in Mercer, Pa.
“We are very excited to have Ryan move into this position,” Greater Erie AA owner Todd Briggs said. “He is very focused on growing and expanding the auction. His out of the box thought process and communication skills, will prove to make him a great leader to our staff.
“He will be co-managing with Chrissy Briggs, assistant general manager/fleet manager and our management team, to move Greater Erie in a great direction in 2017,” Briggs continued.
“Patty and I are proud to introduce and announce Ryan to our management team and look forward to 2017. Dealers will see Ryan in their stores, in the auction lanes or in the corner office,” Briggs went on to say.
Greater Erie AA is located in Fairview, Pa., on Interstate 90 between Buffalo, N.Y., Pittsburgh and Cleveland and offers more than 400 units every week across four auction lanes. The facility features lighted security, 24-hour gate control and leverages both Auction Pipeline Simulcast and AutoIMS.
Current consignors include Credit Acceptance/VRS, Element Fleet, Select Remarketing Group/SRG, Fleet Lease Disposal and several local banks and finance institutions. Sale day is Tuesdays 2:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.greater-erie.com.
