Burns and Co Feature in Just Cars Magazine

By What's News

BURNS & Co featured in the January edition of the Just Cars magazine.

The Article, which can be read online here, takes a look at the recent expansion of Burns & Co into the Newcastle / Central Coast region and how this move will better service customers of Burns and Co in New South Wales and up into Queensland. Customers in these regions will now have the convenience to be able to deliver their auction items to Newcastle for preparation for marketing and auction. Likely at a lesser cost to them than what it would cost to send their items to the Melbourne offices of Burns & Co.

The article also welcomes our Newcastle / Central Coast Manager Michael Saide who joins us after many years in a similar role at Shannons bringing with him an extensive knowledge of cars.
