After decades of building a business, the decision to retire often comes with a practical question: what happens to everything in the workshop? The machinery, vehicles, racking, tools, and stock all need to be disposed of, usually by a specific deadline.
BTG Eddisons Asset Sales manages the complete disposal for retiring business owners. From valuation, marketing, and sale to buyer collection and site clearance, we support you from the moment you contact us through to total site clearance.
Depending on your assets, we use online auctions, tender sales, negotiated sales, or a combination of all three. Sectors covered by our retirement asset sales services include Woodworking machinery, metalworking equipment, commercial vehicles, and plant and machinery.
The fastest way to start is to call us on 0333 200 2041, email [email protected], or complete our contact form. We will give you a realistic picture of what to expect before anything is formally agreed.

Considering retirement and need to sell your assets?
Get in touch by phone, email, or contact form, and one of the team will respond promptly. We will talk through your assets, your timeline, and what you are hoping to achieve, and give you a realistic picture of what the process involves and what you are likely to get.
If you are happy to proceed, we will send an RICS-registered valuer to your site. We can inspect every asset on site, including machinery, vehicles, stock, racking, fit-out, and ancillary equipment, and value each on the appropriate basis. This gives you a credible guide price and informs the sale method recommendation.
Not everything suits an auction. A large-format panel saw, a heavy press brake, or a specialist CNC machine may achieve a better price through tender or negotiated sale to a targeted buyer. We recommend the right mix for your site and advise you before anything goes to market.
Your assets are marketed to our network of more than 26,000 registered buyers across the relevant sectors. Buyers can then attend viewings ahead of the auction closing. You do not need to be present for these, though being available can be valuable if buyers have questions about specific items.
The team coordinates buyer collection and manages site access. We can find suitable solutions for any unsold assets, so nothing is left behind. The site is then cleared and handed over on time. We will always work to your deadline, whether that is a lease expiry, a property sale, or a personal date you have set.
