Silverstone Auctions, one of the newest and most prestigious
specialist auction houses for classic cars, modern supercars and
competition cars, has turned to Leamington Spa communications
agency Red Marlin to help it really 'motor' in 2012.
Created in early 2011, Silverstone Auctions has already made a
significant impact on the classic car auction scene. Its most
recent sale included exquisite cars such as a Le Mans Class winning
Morgan which sold for £125,000 and a rare AC428 coupe which
fetched £136,400. However, with the help of Red Marlin, the
company is looking to drive further forward with a bumper year in
2012.
"As one of the newest classic car auction houses in the UK, it's
important for us to get ourselves known among buyers and sellers
alike," explains Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone
Auctions. "Like us, the team at Red Marlin have great passion and
enthusiasm for everything automotive related along with some
excellent experience and contacts, so I'm confident that the
partnership will be very fruitful. What's more, choosing a local
Leamington agency makes it much easier for us to work closely
together."
While Silverstone Auctions holds the exclusive rights to hold
sales in Silverstone circuit's new £27 million 'Wing'
building, the company's administrative offices are located at the
heart of the Midland's motor industry at Gaydon.
"We're delighted to have been selected to work on such a
prestigious and high-profile account as Silverstone Auctions,"
comments Danny Rughoobeer, managing director, Red Marlin. "Some of
the cars being brought to auction by Nick's team are potential
headline grabbers on a global scale, so it's fantastic news that a
Leamington-based agency can play a major part in this."
Red Marlin was established in 2009 and is located in
Leamington's Althorpe Enterprise Hub. Its team have extensive
experience working for car manufacturers and dealers, international
motorsport teams, automotive component suppliers and car servicing
businesses. As well as managing the PR activities of Silverstone
Auctions it also looks after several other automotive-based
businesses including TyreSafe, the UK's tyre industry's awareness
organisation, who recently featured on BBC TV's The One Show.
Silverstone Auctions next sale will be held at the Race Retro
show at Stoneleigh Park on Saturday 25th February.
