We run auctions and private treaty sales for businesses in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, and the towns around it including Rotherham, Barnsley, Sheffield, Pontefract, Wakefield, Worksop, Scunthorpe, Goole. Sales are catalogued and held on your premises, or we collect the assets and sell them from our own premises when that suits better. Bidding is online and open to trade buyers across the UK.

Doncaster has a long rail engineering base, with locomotive and rolling stock maintenance still active in the town. Logistics is now the largest sector. iPort near junction 3 of the M18 has a rail freight terminal and some of the largest warehouses in the region, and West Moor Park and Redhouse Interchange add more distribution space. Kirk Sandall, Wheatley Hall Road and Balby Carr are older estates with manufacturing, glass production, fabrication and trade units. Agricultural machinery dealers and plant hire yards are common on the outskirts.

The A1(M), M18 and M180 all pass through the borough, which gives quick access to the M1 and the M62. Doncaster railway station is on the East Coast Main Line. Yards on the newer estates are built for constant HGV traffic, and the older sites near the town centre are reachable by rigid lorries and low loaders.
