Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Bristol
Bristol has two very different kinds of seller. On the north fringe, precision machining and composites firms in the aerospace supply chain have well kept plant, where interest turns on specification, condition and the age of the controls. Out at Avonmouth and Severnside, distribution and food operators have racking, forklifts, vehicles and handling kit by the shed load.
Both get the same service. We run online timed auctions at the premises with a viewing day and a collection window, or collect and sell from our own premises where that is simpler. Private treaty is offered for single high value items. Bath, Yate and Weston-super-Mare are a short drive away, and bidding is open across the UK online.
Bristol has a large aerospace and defence sector at Filton, with a supply chain of precision machining, composites and test firms across the north fringe. Avonmouth and Severnside form one of the largest distribution areas in the south west. National warehousing, food and drink, chemicals, waste and recycling and vehicle import operations are on the port estate. Construction, printing, packaging and general engineering are spread through the city. Main industrial areas include Avonmouth, Cabot Park, Central Park at Severnside, St Philips Marsh, Brislington, Ashton Vale and Emersons Green. The port at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock handles cars, bulk and containers.
The M4 and M5 meet at Almondsbury, and the M32 runs from M4 junction 19 into the city centre. The M49 links the M4 and M5 across Severnside. The A4 Portway runs from the centre to Avonmouth. Bristol Temple Meads is the main railway station. The Avonmouth estates are flat with wide roads, while some inner city sites are tighter for low loaders.

Guides and questions
- Preparing machinery and equipment for sale
What to do before viewing day. Keep the machines that can be run safely available to demonstrate, isolate the rest, clean but do not repaint, find the tooling and manuals, and sort out access for removal.
- How used machinery is valued
Buyers pay for what a machine will do for them, less what it costs to get it out and running. This guide explains how make, hours, tooling, demand and removal cost feed a guide price, and why that price is not book value.
- Do you cover the whole of the UK?
- Will overseas buyers bid?
- Can you sell the building or the lease?
