Successful February sets up exciting March

-

WILSONS Auctions Newport prepares for a second unreserved government auction on March 14 and a plant, machinery, commercial and small tools auction on March 22 in addition to its weekly car auctions.

Wilsons Auctions Newport has seen fantastic sales across its weekly car auctions since it took over the site late last year, as a result of its continued support of Newport’s loyal customers and existing vendors including Newtown Motors, Southern Vauxhall, Motorplus Supermarke­t and Secure Trust Bank.

Under the new management of Wilsons Auctions Newport, a significan­t amount of investment will be made into the branch bringing fresh car stock for bidders from Eastern Western Motor Group, Moneyway and local authority vehicles.

Wilsons Auctions Newport has expanded its offering throughout the past few weeks with a plant and machinery and unreserved government auctions being a success in January.

The month of February introduced a further two new auctions; an online timed auction and an unreserved general auction. These auctions not only helped to put Wilsons Auctions Newport on the map but also generated a brand new audience.

Talking of Newport’s start to the year, Wilsons Auctions general manager Nigel Binks said: “We are delighted with the very encouragin­g start to the year with fantastic sales across our weekly car auctions.

“We would like to thank the loyal customers and vendors for their continued support throughout our transition of Newport and as we progress.

“Following on from the success of our January auctions we expect to see more diverse sales in the coming months as we prepare to welcome new vendors which we hope generates a new customer base for the branch,” he added.

The weekly car auctions at Wilsons Auctions Newport take place every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm and Friday’s at 11.30am.

Wilsons Auctions holds more than 1,000 auctions annually across its branches, auctioning everything from cars and vans, plant and machinery and property to general goods, as well as the more luxurious items to include; planes, yachts, gold bars, supercars, designer goods and prestigiou­s watches.

Wilsons Auctions is a family-owned business, formed in 1936 in Northern Ireland, it has grown to become the largest independen­t auction company in the British Isles with sites in the Northern Ireland, Wales, Republic of Ireland, England and Scotland.

The company’s acquisitio­n of Newport Auctions will help to expand Wilsons Auctions presence across Wales, along with its Queensferr­y branch in the north, and with future growth plans will see the company invest further into the local area and create further job opportunit­ies.
