Our auctions have both local and global reach.

With competitive bidding, mimicking the traditional auction process by extending the bidding time on active lots, our secure auction site prevents sniper bidding and ensures that true market value is achieved for our clients. 

Our transparent and finite auctions are usually sited at the company premises and our purchasers are responsible for the removal process, reducing sale costs and increasing bidder confidence in the condition of the assets being sold. 

Using expert market knowledge alongside both traditional and digital marketing strategies, we attract an average of 13,000 bidders from 150 countries and sell in excess of 16,000 lots amounting to more than £7m per annum.

Via private treaty, our experts negotiate on a one-to-one basis with interested parties acquired via targeted marketing to achieve optimum realisations.

Private treaty negotiations are typically suited to more bespoke assets, items of high value, or where the market interest is reduced and longer lead times are needed for marketing. Alternatively, this method also suits large quantities of stocks where best value will be realised as a whole, or for smaller packets of assets in cases where an online auction would not be cost effective. 

The need for private treaty negotiations may also arise when it is more convenient to the client to keep the number of purchasers to a minimum for dismantling and collection co-ordination. 

On average, our team negotiate in excess of 600 private treaty sales totalling more than £6m per annum. To find out more about private treaty negotiations and how they may be able to benefit you, please get in touch.

A hybrid of auction and private treaty, this method, used less frequently, entails interested parties submitting a best and final offer ​without knowing what other interested parties have offered, by a specific deadline.

Suitable for sales of business assets as a whole, large quantities of stock or sales with a smaller number of lots, specialised assets with a reduced market demand or where there may be sensitivities around the sale of the assets thus requiring a less public sale is it also offers the client more flexibility over the acceptance of bids.

We can offer a flexible approach and as well as the traditional sale by commission for on-line auction and private treaty sales, we can also offer asset realisation guarantee and outright purchase options.
