Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Swansea
Metal work runs through much of the industry around Swansea. A fabrication shop in Llansamlet winding down, or a processing line towards Neath or Port Talbot at the end of its contract, is typical of the work. Plant hire yards at Fforestfach add forklifts and site equipment. We sell that kind of kit by online timed auction, and by private treaty when one machine deserves a negotiated sale.
The sale can run at your site, with a viewing day and a collection window after it closes, or we can collect the lots and sell them from our own premises. Llanelli and Bridgend are close enough to view on site, and trade buyers across the rest of the UK bid online.
Swansea has a mixed industrial base built on metals, manufacturing and distribution. Steel and metal processing firms are close by in the Neath and Port Talbot direction, with fabrication, engineering and plant hire companies spread through the city. The largest commercial district is Swansea Enterprise Park, which covers Llansamlet and parts of Morriston and mixes factories, warehouses and trade counters. Swansea West Business Park at Fforestfach is the other main estate. The Fabian Way corridor and the SA1 waterfront hold newer units near the docks.
The M4 runs along the north of the city. Junctions 44 and 45 serve the Enterprise Park and junction 47 serves Fforestfach and Gorseinon. The A483 and A4067 carry traffic into the centre. Swansea railway station is on the South Wales Main Line. Estate roads and yards vary across the city, so access and turning space are checked before a collection window is agreed.

- Closing a business: a timeline for selling the assets
Work backwards from the day you hand the site over. This guide covers lease end and dilapidations, when to instruct, when staff should leave, when to keep the power on, and how to leave enough room for collection and making good.
- Selling a commercial vehicle fleet
