I have been told that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 only supersedes the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for second-hand items bought from companies, and not ones bought from individuals. Is this correct?

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 does not apply to goods other than those sold by a trader to a consumer.
Almost always (as demonstrated in several other answers), the interaction between related legislation is explained in explanatory notes. In this case, they say:
The [Sale of Goods Act] will still apply to... consumer to consumer contracts
