Peter Johnston, Wilsons Auctions Group Operations Director said, “Wilsons Auctions is delighted to be awarded the contract by Fife Council, to assist in the resale of its end of life vehicles and plant equipment across its Fleet Operations. This has also impacted positively on the work force in our Dalry branch with new jobs created, helping to support this contract.

“Wilsons Auctions is proud to work with a number of government agencies in the asset recovery and disposal of items across the UK and Ireland and across recent months has returned in excess of £80 million to the public purse. We have an enviable reputation for maximising asset realisation while minimising costs, making the asset recovery process as stress-free as possible for our clients,” he added.

Wilsons Auctions has been in business since 1936 and is the largest independently owned auction house in the UK and Ireland. With more locations throughout the British Isles than any other privately owned auction company, Wilsons Auctions processes a hammer total in excess of £200 million annually.
