Industry Voices | Adaptation

We all felt the shockwaves through our industry when Covid-19 kicked in almost a year ago. In a year full of ups and downs, the businesses and people in the industry have adapted to new ways of working. When the first lockdowns kicked in in March 2020, Ritchie Bros. shifted its massive equipment auctions entirely to online. Among the first was Ritchie Bros.’ Meppen (Germany) auction in March 2020 that pre-COVID saw hundreds of on-site bidders attend. Processes were adapted to facilitate the online auction experience, resulting in 40% more bidders compared to the same auction the year before.
