Britannia AuctionsDo you buy equipment outright?
Our normal route is to sell on your behalf, at auction or by private treaty, because a sale puts the assets in front of competing bidders rather than a single offer. Where speed matters more than price, for example when a landlord has set a hard date, tell us and we will explain the options, including a clearance sale to a single buyer.
