Business asset auctions in Telford
We run auctions and private treaty sales for businesses in Telford, Shropshire, and the towns around it including Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Bridgnorth, Newport, Shifnal, Market Drayton, Stafford. 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.
Telford was planned as an industrial town and has more factory space than most places of its size. Automotive component makers, plastics moulders, food processors and general engineering firms occupy the three main estates. Hortonwood is in the north of the town, Stafford Park is next to the A464 close to junction 4 of the M54, and Halesfield is to the south near Madeley. Each estate is divided into numbered phases with units from small workshops to large factories. Tweedale and Heath Hill hold smaller trade and repair businesses.
The M54 runs along the south side of Telford and joins the M6 near Wolverhampton. The A5 continues west to Shrewsbury and the A442 links the estates from north to south. Telford Central station is on the line between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Roads on the estates were laid out for lorries, so access for heavy plant is rarely a problem.

- 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.
