Trade plate vehicle movements in Hereford and the Marches

Auction collections from Telford, Whitchurch, Bristol and Dursley

There is no auction yard in Hereford itself. Wilsons Auctions Telford is the nearest Wilsons site and BCA Whitchurch serves Shropshire, while BCA Bristol and Manheim Dursley cover buyers looking south.

We confirm with the auction that your lot has been released before a driver is sent, so nobody waits at the gate. Our guide to auction collection after release explains the process. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

If the other end of the move is in the city, see our page on trade plate vehicle movements in Birmingham.

Rotherwas, Holmer and the roads out of Hereford

The A49 runs north to Leominster and Shrewsbury and south to Ross on Wye. The A465 heads for Abergavenny and the Heads of the Valleys, the A4103 is the Worcester road and the A438 goes towards Ledbury. Leominster, Ross, Ledbury, Hay on Wye, Worcester and Abergavenny are all within the area we regularly cover.

Collections come from all over the city. Business units at Rotherwas, Holmer and Three Elms have barriers and site managers, while High Town, Eign Gate and the streets around the cathedral are tight and get busy on market days. Customers in Tupsley or Belmont need somewhere legal for the driver to stop.

Leominster and Ledbury are separate towns, so please name the right one on the booking. If the other postcode is in Evesham, it has its own page. A short hop from Rotherwas to Tupsley is one job, and so is a run from Hereford to Glasgow.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans across Herefordshire

A typical Hereford booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Gloucester or Birmingham, or a part exchange heading to Telford once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Rotherwas and Holmer, and every one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

Retail customers matter just as much. If you have promised a buyer in Tupsley a delivery to the door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer squeezed into a terrace off Eign Gate. Read more about site transfers and retail handovers.

We move single vehicles, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A49 before it leaves. Add a named contact for locked units at Holmer or gated homes near the cathedral.

Avoiding delays on the A49 and A465

Closures on the A49 at Holmer and bad weather on the A465 are the usual hold ups around Hereford, along with collections booked as Hereford that are really in Ross. Give us the estate name, any barrier code and a contact, and the driver will not end up in High Town when the car is waiting at Wilsons Telford.

Hereford station sits on the line between Shrewsbury and Newport, and our driver uses it to get home after a one way delivery. The paperwork stays the same on every move: photos at collection and a signature at handover, even on a short hop across the city.
