Silverlake Automotive Recycling, based in Shedfield, Hampshire, has secured a pair of four-year police contracts following competitive tenders.

The company renewed its contract with Surrey and Sussex Police, which it’s held since 2014, as well as picking up a new one with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary.

On behalf of each police force, Silverlake will collect vehicles for disposal via recycling or auction, once they’re released from storage with the appointed recovery operators.

Having worked with Sussex & Surrey Police for the past decade, the company has an in-depth understanding of police requirements.

It works with recovery operators to minimise storage costs and aims to deliver strong returns via its auction site.

The contracts were awarded by Automobile Association Developments (AADL) Contractor Management.

Dan Bristow, contractor scheme manager at AADL, said: “Following a rigorous invitation to tender, I’m pleased that Silverlake have been successful in their tender to provide salvage provision on behalf of AADL.

“This long-standing collaboration is testament to the hard work and dedication that the team at Silverlake have demonstrated over the years.

“I look forward to working closely with the team to ensure both these schemes are a success.”

Steve Diaper, operations manager at Silverlake, added: “We’re really proud to have won these prestigious contracts.

“Our business reputation is built on professionalism, competitive pricing and outstanding customer service.

“The fact that AADL and Surrey and Sussex Police have relied on our services for 10 years and have just renewed our contract for a further four demonstrates great trust in our operations – that’s hugely rewarding for the team.

“To then go on to win the contract for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary as well is even further validation, reinforcing our credibility and helping to position us as the automotive recycling partner of choice in the market.”
