WILSONS Auctions, the UK’s largest independent auction company, has been awarded a four year multi-agency contract, worth in excess of £25 million, as the sole provider for the sale of assets seized by law enforcement and government agencies including the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The auction company will be responsible for assets seized by the PSNI and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. Other agencies included in the deal are South Wales Police, Gwent Police, Dyfed Powys Police, Natural Resources Wales, Avon and Somerset Police, Gloucestershire Police and Derbyshire Police.
The contract was signed by Wilsons Auctions, which has branches across the UK and Ireland, to sell assets including cars, vans, boats and yachts, plant and machinery, land and property, jewellery and watches as well as personal property from designer clothes and accessories to electronic equipment, computers, sports equipment and furniture.
Wilsons Auctions has paid in excess of £80 million into the public purse from the proceeds of asset recovery over recent years and will continue to add to this by signing this four year multi-agency deal.
