Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Glasgow
Glasgow has the widest industrial spread in Scotland. Engineering shops at Hillington, food producers with packing lines, vehicle workshops in Queenslie and haulage depots at Cambuslang all reach a point where the equipment has to go, whether the reason is retirement or an insolvency practitioner who needs a sale date. We catalogue on site, run an online timed auction with a viewing day, and account to you from cleared funds once buyers have paid and the collection window has closed. Paisley and Motherwell are within reach of a viewing day, and bidding is open to firms across the rest of the UK. Single high value machines can go by private treaty instead.
Glasgow is the largest industrial market in Scotland. Engineering, fabrication and construction firms sit alongside food producers, packaging plants, vehicle workshops and distribution depots. Hillington Park, west of the city near junction 26 of the M8, is the biggest business park in Scotland and has a strong automotive and engineering presence. Queenslie, beside the M8 in the east of the city, is the largest estate inside the city boundary. Clydesmill at Cambuslang, off junction 2A of the M74, is a main distribution location. Further estates lie in Clydebank, Rutherglen and along the Clyde Gateway.
The M8, M74, M77 and M73 meet around the city and connect to Edinburgh, Carlisle and Ayrshire. The A82 runs north west. Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations carry the main rail services. Mossend has a rail freight terminal. The main estates are reached from the motorway without passing through the centre, and access at each unit is checked at the first visit.

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.
- Is there a minimum amount of equipment you will take on?
- Do I need to know the exact model of each machine?
- Do we have to sell everything on the site?
- Who removes the equipment after the sale?
