Auction firm lands major contract with police
Auction firm Wilsons has been awarded a contract by Police Scotland to manage the vehicle auction and disposal services for end-of-life emergency services vehicles and plant.
The three-year contract, with an opportunity to extend for a further 12 months, will see the auction company’s Dalry branch manage the collection, decommissioning and remarketing of Police Scotland cars, vans, HGV, motorcycles and plant.
The contract adds to the continued success for the auction company, with national coverage across the four regions of the UK and Ireland.
It works with over 40 law enforcement agencies and government bodies with the ability to identify, recover, store and disposeof any category of asset.
Gareth Wilson, Director at Wilsons Auctions, said: “This contract further adds to the work Wilsons Auctions already carries out as the leading provider of asset management services.
“Wilsons Auctions is proud to manage the asset recovery for an extensive portfolio of public sector organisations across the UK and Ireland which has seen the company responsible for realising in excess of £120 million worth of assets which has been returned to the public purse.”
Wilsons achieves a UK-wide annual hammer total in excess of £390 million.
