Wilsons Auctions is a family owned business, formed in 1936 by William J Wilson and is now directed by his son Ian Wilson. The company has grown from a single auction site in Northern Ireland to become the largest independent auction company in the UK and Ireland with an annual hammer total in excess of £400 million.
Holding over 3100 auctions each year, Wilsons Auctions can auction every category of asset from cars and vans, plant and machinery to property and general goods. It also has the expertise to deal with more luxurious goods including planes, yachts, gold bars, supercars, designer goods, prestigious watches and more recently expanding its offering to cryptocurrency.
The auction company carries the expertise, standards and facilities to manage the whole realisation process including collection, valuation, storage, re-marketing and going on to achieve the assets’ maximum value.
Vendors include private sellers, car dealers, major car manufacturers, lease companies, banks, liquidators and government bodies including law enforcement agencies.
The group has grown in recent years through development of new markets, modernisation of its auction centres, smart acquisitions, and a move to more online auctions. The management team is fully trained in their particular areas of expertise and pride themselves in offering a service second to none.
Wilsons Auctions holds car auctions daily across all of its branches and everyone is welcome to buy and sell a car at any time. It has a fantastic selection of all types of makes and models of cars, across all of its branches, to suit all buyers and their budgets.
