ASSET DISPOSAL
Asset disposal services for UK businesses
We manage the complete disposal of commercial assets: valuation, cataloguing, marketing, auction, payment and collection. One Manchester-based team, working across the UK.
One team for the whole disposal
Disposing of business assets usually means juggling valuers, auctioneers, hauliers and buyers. We do it differently: one team handles the whole journey, from the first walk-round to the last load leaving site.
We work with owners, directors, accountants and insolvency practitioners on projects of every size: a single machine, a surplus production line or a complete site. You get a clear plan, honest values and one point of contact throughout.
What we do
Valuation
We inspect your assets on site and give you realistic values based on what equipment actually sells for at auction, not optimistic figures that fall apart on sale day.
Photography & cataloguing
Every lot is photographed and specified properly. Good catalogues attract serious bidders, and serious bidders pay better prices.
Marketing & auction
We market your sale to trade buyers across the UK and beyond, then run the auction, timed online or on site, and handle every bid, question and under-bidder.
Payment & collection
We collect payment from every buyer, then manage collection and loading from your site so clearance is orderly, insured and on schedule.
