We auction machinery and equipment across all industrial verticals. Whether you are an established company, dealer or a private seller we have a customer service driven solution to help you realise the best prices for your items in our on-site auctions that are also broadcast live to online bidders globally.

Once your items have been inspected and consigned to William Auctions we can assist with transport of equipment. We will then photograph and video items to be displayed with full details on the Williams Auction website.

Our auctions are marketed in trade publications, on the internet.

Seller fees are negotiable depending on the size of the consignment - contact us for more information

We can accept deliveries at any point which is suitable with the Vendor throughout the working week and working hours.  Out of hours deliveries can be accepted through special arrangements.  We will issue deadlines for Stationary Stock and Rolling Stock.

All documents need to be handed into the office prior to the auction.  You can either send them when the vehicle is delivered or they can be posted to our office.  You must declare if no documents are available.  If documents are not received in a timely manner, items will be sold without them.

Our auction site is monitored by 24-hour CCTV Surveillance and we will do all we can to keep your items safe but the responsibility remains that of the Vendor.  We recommend that items remain insured until items have been sold and paid for.

Our sales are marketed online and in print media.  All items will be published in our auction catalogue on the build up to the action and we use external bodies such as Machinery Trader to place auction adverts.  Auction Preview booklets will also be printed and emailed to new and existing customers.  We also actively promote on social media such as Instagram and Facebook.

Any consignments listed and/or in any publication and not delivered by the vendor will be subject to a surcharge of £1,000 per item or 10% of the book value of the item (whichever shall be the greater) plus VAT.

Yes.  Where applicable Lots are subject to a HPI fee of £6 plus VAT. Additional checks may need to be carried out.
