Silverlake Automotive Recycling was awarded Salvage Company of the Year for the second year in a row at the prestigious ATF Professional Vehicle Recycling Awards.
The award recognised the innovation Silverlake applies to its UK-wide operations which sees the business process 33,000-plus salvage vehicles a year.
Salvage cars are sourced from business clients including insurers, garages and dealers, and consumers who can get a rapid quote by phone or the website. In-house data analytics and market research informs the vehicle buying team and, together with an engineering assessment, determines whether a salvage vehicle is remarketed on the company’s online auction or processed for ‘full-service’ or ‘self-service’ reclaimed parts.
Parts are delivered nationwide, with bulk deliveries to its Midlands-based hub reducing emissions.
Allen Prebble, Managing Director of Silverlake said, “I am over the moon for the business to have received this award for the second year running, and humbled again by the associated industry recognition. The Silverlake team is 100% dedicated to offering an exceptional customer experience and to leading the way in our industry.”
Meanwhile, the company has also announced it is looking to move to a new 30-acre site.
Allen said, “We need to future-proof the business as we move away from petrol and diesel vehicles to alternative fuels, to help us to continue to safely and effectively service the region. Sustainability sits at the core of our automotive recycling business and our expansion goals represent great news for local jobs and the regional economy, and will help to continue to put Hampshire on the map as a centre for excellence in sustainability and innovation.”
