Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Liverpool
Freight moves everything in Liverpool, and the haulage yards and forwarding depots around Bootle and Kirkby hold the vehicles, racking, forklifts and handling equipment that come to sale. Add the car plant suppliers in Halewood and the pharmaceutical sites at Speke and you have a city with a wide spread of business assets to sell.
We sell them by online timed auction and by private treaty. Sales run at the seller's premises where access allows, or we collect and sell from our own. St Helens, Warrington and Birkenhead across the water are within reach of a viewing day, and the catalogue is open to trade buyers anywhere in the UK, mainland or islands.
Liverpool has a large port, and much of its industry is tied to freight. Container and bulk cargo handling at the docks supports haulage, warehousing and freight forwarding firms across Bootle, Kirkby and Speke. Car plants and their suppliers are in Halewood and Speke. Pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturing is concentrated in Speke as well. Food and drink production, construction and waste processing are spread across the city. Main industrial areas include Knowsley Industrial Park, Liverpool International Business Park, Estuary Commerce Park and the dock estate at Seaforth and Bootle.
The M62 ends at the edge of the city. The M57 links Knowsley to the M62 and M58, and the A5036 runs to the port. The Kingsway and Queensway tunnels cross the Mersey to the Wirral and the M53. Liverpool Lime Street is the main railway station. The outer estates and the older dockside roads load very differently, so access and turning space are checked before the sale is planned.

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 I need to be there on collection day?
- Can this happen while the site is still trading?
- Can the stock be sold from somewhere other than our premises?
- Can I keep using the machine while it is marketed?
