The Autorola Group, Europe’s leading online car auction company is expanding again. The Danish company has just opened a subsidiary in Ireland, so now Autorola has online car auctions in 13 European countries. Autorola’s online car auction at www.autorola.ie is the first of its kind in Ireland. The launch of Autorola in the Irish motor trade has attracted great interest in the industry.

The new Autorola-subsidiary, with offices in Rathcoole near Dublin is managed by Eddie Lane. Eddie is well known in the motor trade in Ireland, England and Scotland and has 21 years of experience in the trade. He has worked with BMW Ireland, Scottish Car Auctions, Direct Car Finance UK and Direct Car Finance Ireland.

Currently, Autorola Ireland is signing car dealers for the online car auctions and making deals with leasing companies and financial institutions that want to sell cars via Autorola’s online car auctions. The interest is huge and the first auctions with cars from dealers are already running.

The opening in Ireland is the first since the successful opening in the Czech Republic earlier this year. CEO Peter Grøftehauge is pleased to welcome the Irish car sellers and buyers to the Autorola-universe:

“We are convinced that we have the right platform for the Irish trade car market and we are happy to see that the Irish sellers and buyers are reacting positively to what Autorola offer. We hope for a long term relationship”, he said.

The Autorola Group is planning additional Autorola subsidiaries both in Europe and further afield in the future.
