Wilsons Auctions

Wilsons Auctions is a family-owned business and was formed in 1936 by William J Wilson.  Now directed by his son Ian Wilson, the company has grown to become the largest independent Auction Company in the UK and Ireland with sites in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Wilsons Auctions is once again very proud to be associated with the APSE Organisation and is delighted to be sponsoring the Conference Brochure at the APSE Scotland Fleet, Waste and Ground Services Seminar 2022.

Working in partnership with both the public and private sectors, Wilsons Auctions provide a vital remarketing service that covers every department within the Local Authority. In 2021, the company was delighted to be awarded the contract for Police Scotland to remarket all vehicles and plant.

Wilsons Auctions manages over 3,100 auctions annually across the UK and Ireland and with the ability to realise any type of asset, it achieves an annual hammer total of 400 million. Assets include;

• Vehicles
• LCV and HGVs
• Plant and Machinery
• Tools and Commercial Equipment
• Land and Property
• Luxury and Designer Goods
• General Goods
• Catering and Restaurant Equipment
• Marine and Aviation Assets
• Caravans
• Police, Proceeds of Crime and Government Seized Assets

Upon the years of experience dealing with Local Authorities, the auction company has an excellent understanding of ‘Best Value’. As a progressive and forward-looking company, Wilsons Auctions has a passion for continually finding new ways to offer first rate sales and services to both buyers and sellers alike. It is able to achieve this goal through provision of a thoroughly professional and personal service while keeping up-to-date with the latest technological and industry advances.

Strategic growth watched the business expand in 2021 with the purchase of West Oxfordshire Motor Auction Ltd, in Witney, England. Wilsons Auctions is the only auction company in the British Isles to offer a national coverage.

Drawing on experience, resources and ideas from all of its branches, Wilsons Auctions offer dedicated Commercial Managers across the UK and Ireland for asset disposal, to every Local Authority.
