Trade plate vehicle movements in Leicester and Leicestershire

Auction collections from Bruntingthorpe, Shepshed and Castle Donington

There is no auction yard in the city itself, but Leicester buyers have plenty of choice nearby. Manheim Bruntingthorpe lies to the south, Manheim Shepshed and BCA Castle Donington sit to the north west, BCA Measham is further west and BCA Nottingham is up the M1.

Nobody is sent until the auction confirms your lot is released. Our page on auction collection covers what we need from you. Please note we cannot take salvage lots.

Moving to or from a neighbouring town? Braunstone Town has a page of its own, and so does Loughborough.

Meridian, Belgrave and the roads around Leicester

The A6 links Loughborough and Market Harborough, the A47 runs out to Uppingham, the A50 heads towards Stoke and the M69 comes in from Coventry. Braunstone Town, Oadby, Wigston, Syston, Loughborough and Hinckley are all close by.

Trade units at Meridian and Troon have barriers and site managers, while Gallowtree Gate, Belgrave Road and the streets around the Clock Tower are tight. Customers in Clarendon Park, Stoneygate or Beaumont Leys need somewhere legal for the driver to stop, and a match at the King Power fills the surrounding roads.

Leicester is a city of many LE postcodes, so please give the exact address. A short hop from Meridian to Belgrave is one job, and so is a run from Leicester to Glasgow.

Leicester station and the trip home

Leicester station is on the Midland Main Line and is the usual way home for our driver after a one way delivery. South Wigston serves the south of the city and Syston sits on the Peterborough line, so we pick the stop that suits each drop.

Group transfers, auction lots and fleet vans in Leicester

A typical Leicester booking is a group moving a car between a site at Meridian and a city satellite, or a lot leaving Castle Donington once it has been released. Fleet vans come off Troon, and every one needs a valid MOT.

When you have promised a customer in Clarendon Park a delivery, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer blocking a terrace off London Road. Our site transfers and retail handovers page has the detail.

We move single vehicles, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck at junction 21. Add a named contact and any barrier code for locked units at Meridian.

Avoiding delays at junction 21 of the M1

Queues on the M1 at junction 21, an A6 closure out of Loughborough and a Braunstone address booked as Leicester are the usual causes of delay. Give us the district, barrier code and who to ask for, so the driver goes straight to Manheim Bruntingthorpe or a house in Belgrave without a detour.

The paperwork is the same on every move. A short hop from Oadby to Meridian gets photos at collection and a signature at handover, just like a long run north.

Booking an LE1 movement with OVM

Every vehicle needs a valid MOT where required and must be legal to drive. Light vans are welcome, but we do not move HGVs. Read up on driven trade plate movements and how OVM reaches the whole UK.
