Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Norwich
Farming and food shape most of what we sell around Norwich. Food and drink processors sell production lines and cold storage. Agricultural engineers and machinery dealers sell workshop plant and stock, often from a village site beyond the ring road where the approach decides what can collect. The automotive cluster at Hethel and the offshore supply firms working out of Great Yarmouth add machine tools and specialist equipment.
Sales run as online timed auctions at your premises with a viewing day, or we collect and sell from our own. Private treaty is offered where one machine deserves a negotiated sale. Wymondham and Dereham are close enough to view on site, and trade buyers across the UK bid online.
Norwich is the commercial centre for Norfolk and much of its business base is tied to farming and food. Food and drink processors, agricultural machinery dealers and packaging firms are found across the city and the surrounding villages. Automotive engineering is concentrated at Hethel to the south. Broadland Business Park and the Norwich Airport industrial area have warehouse and distribution units, with Longwater at Costessey and Rackheath adding trade and light industrial space. Vulcan Road and Salhouse Road are older estates with smaller workshops.
Road links are the A11 to Cambridge and the M11, and the A47 east to Great Yarmouth and west to King's Lynn. The Broadland Northway carries traffic around the north of the city between these routes. Norwich railway station is on the Great Eastern Main Line to London. Rural sites beyond the ring road may need a smaller vehicle for collection.
