CARMEL, Ind. — ADESA Northwest was selected as the U.S. Bank 2015 Auction of the Year in the marine/RV segment. This was the sixth year in a row the company — formerly known as Brasher's Northwest Auto Auction — earned the award, which U.S. Bank launched in 2010.

When determining an auction for the award, U.S. Bank looks at conversion rates, NADA retentions and operational benchmarks such as days to transport and days to condition, according to the company.

“I would like to thank Jason Herman and the U.S. Bank team for their continued partnership and support, which have enabled us to achieve this award six years in a row,” said Mark Melton, general manager of ADESA Northwest. “Jodi Rowland and the fleet lease team, our reconditioning team, the sales department and other teams at the auction have played instrumental roles in reaching and exceeding these benchmarks.”

Melton and Rowland, fleet lease manager, accepted the award on behalf of the ADESA Northwest staff earlier this month in Cincinnati.
