Wolverhampton is a Black Country manufacturing city with aerospace, automotive, metal pressings, fabrication and general engineering firms spread across it. The i54 business park at junction 2 of the M54, on the boundary with South Staffordshire, has engine, aerospace and advanced manufacturing plants. Older industrial areas are found at Fordhouses to the north, Bilston and Springvale to the south east, and Wednesfield and Willenhall to the east, which have the Planetary, Strawberry Lane and Wednesfield Way estates.
The M54 runs west from junction 10a of the M6 towards Telford, and junction 10 of the M6 is reached from Wednesfield and Willenhall along the A454 Black Country Route. The M6 also links to the M5 at junction 8 near West Bromwich. Wolverhampton railway station is on the West Coast Main Line. Many Black Country estates are older, with narrower access, so larger loads need planning.

Guides and questions
- Auction or private treaty: which route to choose
Auction gives you a fixed date and an open market. Private treaty gives you a negotiated price and privacy. This guide sets out when each route suits, what you give up with each, and why many sales use both.
- What insolvency practitioners need from an auctioneer
For office holders realising physical assets. Covers the instruction letter, the asset schedule and valuation basis, retention of title, finance and HPI checks, site security, health and safety during the sale, and the reconciliation you need for the file.
- What happens to unsold lots
Not every lot sells, but the site still has to be cleared. This guide covers why lots go unsold, private treaty after the sale, lowering or removing the reserve, a later sale, scrap and WEEE recycling, and what disposal costs.
- Can the sale be run without announcing my retirement?
- Can we sell before we have moved out?
- What if a machine is still on finance?
- Will the sale be confidential?
