Business asset auctions in Warrington

A large machine shop with many machines and tools

Two motorways cross at Warrington, and most of the businesses here are there because of that. Distribution firms at Omega and Winwick Quay hand back sheds full of forklifts, racking, pallet trucks and dock equipment. Fabricators and vehicle repairers on Woolston Grange and Appleton Thorn sell welding plant and workshop tooling. Where the site can take a viewing day, the auction runs there, with bidding closing before a collection window opens. Otherwise we collect and sell from our own premises. Widnes, Runcorn, St Helens and Wigan are all a short drive away, and bidding is open to firms across the UK. Single high value items can go by private treaty.

Warrington sits at the crossing of the M6 and M62 and much of its economy is built on that position. Large distribution warehouses fill Omega on the west side of the town and the estates around Gemini and Winwick Quay to the north. Birchwood Park has offices and workshops for nuclear and energy engineering firms. Chemical manufacturing continues at Bank Quay, and there are engineering, fabrication and vehicle repair businesses on Woolston Grange, Appleton Thorn and the older estates near the Ship Canal.

The M62 has junctions 8 to 11 within the borough. The M6 is reached at junctions 20 and 21, and the M56 at junctions 9 and 10 to the south. Warrington Bank Quay station is on the West Coast Main Line, and Warrington Central is on the line between Liverpool and Manchester. Sites range from the large distribution sheds to older units near the Ship Canal, so access is checked before a collection window is agreed.
