Trade plate vehicle movements in Evesham and the Vale

Around Evesham: the A46 bypass, the A44 and the River Avon

The A46 bypass links the town with Tewkesbury and the M5 in one direction and Stratford-upon-Avon in the other. The A44 comes in from Worcester and carries on towards Broadway and Oxford. When the Avon floods or the A46 queues build, timings change, so we agree a date that works for you.

The town sits in a loop of the river, and Bengeworth lies on the far bank from the centre. Hampton and Four Pools each have their own last stretch, while Pershore and Broadway are separate towns. Give us the exact postcode, say which side of the river the car is on and name a contact, especially if the street is prone to flooding.

Pershore, Broadway, Bidford-on-Avon, Tewkesbury, Worcester and Cheltenham are all near neighbours. A move from Pershore into Evesham is one job and a move from Evesham to Glasgow is another. Evesham station is on the Cotswold Line between Worcester and Oxford, which gets our driver home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Birmingham and Manheim Dursley

There is no auction site in the Vale, so most Evesham buyers collect from BCA Birmingham up the M5. Manheim Dursley is the Gloucestershire option to the south west, Wilsons Auctions Telford is further north and BCA Westbury lies further south.

We confirm release with the auction you name before a driver is sent, then bring the car straight back down the A46. The full process is on our page about collection once a lot is released. Salvage stock stays off our trade plates and needs to go by transporter.

Vale dealers, food unit vans and customer handovers

A typical booking is a Vale independent sending a car to a group site in Worcester or Cheltenham, or a part exchange heading to Birmingham once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off horticultural and food units around Four Pools, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

If you have promised a customer in Bengeworth a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer to park on the Workman Bridge. A street inside the river loop and an industrial park off the A46 are different handovers, so add a named contact at each end. How we manage site transfers and retail handovers is set out here.

Floods, A46 queues and getting the address right

The usual hold ups are a flooded Avon, traffic on the A46 and a Broadway collection booked as Evesham. Tell us which bank of the river the car is on, the gate details and who will meet the driver. That way nobody is sent to the abbey when the car is in Bengeworth, and for a lot at BCA Birmingham we wait until release is confirmed.

A short hop from Pershore is recorded with the same care as a long run. The driver notes condition and takes photos at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and you receive one report by email.

Booking a driven move from WR11

All we ask is that the vehicle is roadworthy and legal to drive, with an MOT in date if it needs one. We provide the trade plates, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the car from collection until it is signed for.
