America’s Auto Auction has named Angela Yarborough as assistant general manager at its Houston auction facility, noting her more than 30 years of industry experience.
Yarborough’s auction career began in 1989 when Rawls Auto Auction hired her as a block clerk. She went on to work at Rawls for almost three decades.
Auction general manager Ben Nash said America’s Auto Auction Houston has seen strong increases in its customer base and consignment volumes for the past six months along with a return to live in-lane selling.
“With all that’s happening in our market, we determined it was time to hire an assistant general manager, and Angela was the ideal choice,” Nash said in a news release.
At Rawls, she served in the fleet/lease department, in business development and as the facility’s assistant general manager.
She later worked in national sales and as a Houston-area auction general manager before she started with America’s Auto Auction.
“From my first day at America’s Auto Auction Houston I knew that I’d found my new home,” Yarborough said.
She also said, “The independent auction is part of my DNA, and I can tell that’s something I share with the employees here in Houston. A great majority of the them have worked at the auction since it opened, and they all exhibit what’s best about an independent: They all work together to get the job done, whatever it takes, putting the customer first.”
Yarborough continued, “America’s Auto Auction Houston is a great facility, equipped to handle both commercial accounts and dealer customers, and we have an exciting future ahead of us. I couldn’t be working for a better team.”
America’s Auto Auction senior vice president John Swofford said Yarborough’s many years in the industry, along with her understanding of the independent auction, make her a strong fit in Houston.
“And we look forward to a long and successful relationship,” Swofford said.
