MANHEIM Australia has appointed Anthony Poci as head of fleet, government, rental and corporate. 

He returns to Manheim after two years away from the business, having been a valuable member of the team for 14 years in numerous key roles.   

Manheim said that his appointment to this critical and highly strategic role comes at an exciting time for Manheim Australia, as several tactical long-term capital investments come to fruition.

Mr Poci and his team will ensure Manheim’s fleet and lease customers across the private and public sectors, who dispose of vehicles through the company’s national auction marketplace, get the best possible service.   

He will also engage with prospective new customers as Manheim seeks to secure a greater share of ex-fleet and lease vehicles in need of remarketing.

Manheim provides inspection, valuation, storage, rectification and auctioneering to customers including state and local governments, not-for-profits, corporate and rental fleets, lenders and fleet management organisations.   

With significant ongoing investments into new physical auction facilities for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne; improved digital customer buying and selling portals; and more sophisticated photo booths and advanced scanning tunnels entering operation, Manheim is positioning itself for sustained growth in the Australian market.  

Mr Poci said: “After two years gaining valuable experience and perspective across the industry, I’m excited to be back at Manheim, where my journey began more than 16 years ago. 

“I’m looking forward to working with our talented team, building on Manheim’s strengthening value proposition and capitalising on the significant opportunities ahead.”  

Manheim Australia head of passenger and commercial vehicles Jonothan Ellerton said getting Anthony back on board will serve the company well as it seeks for continual improvement in what it offers to fleets of all shapes and sizes.

“Anthony is highly regarded in the industry and has shown time and again his ability to deliver for our customers, and to drive more vehicle volume into our auction lanes,” he said. 

“This is an important role for us and Poci is the right man for the job. We are happy to welcome him back.”
