Watts & Associates Auctioneers

Specialist Plant and Machinery Auctioneers

Watts & Associates was formed in 1995 and has been conducting regular collective auction sales of contractors plant and machinery ever since. In 2010 the company acquired a new five-and-a-half acre site in Carlton, Barnsley, which has now become the primary auction facility and company headquarters.

Every sale attracts in excess of 3,000 lots of wide-ranging equipment, including power tools, compaction plates, commercial vehicles, excavators and telescopic handlers. With such a wide variety of equipment available, our auctions generate a lot of interest and are always well attended by buyers from across the country and overseas.

There are now 9 collective auction sales held throughout the year from our new site in Carlton, South Yorkshire S71 3HU, usually at 5 to 6 week intervals. All of the equipment that passes through our auctions is sourced through vendors at trade, manufacturer and end user level and sold under our general conditions of sale.

Internet and Real Time Bidding

Our buyers are equally as diverse and come from across the UK and from overseas. The use of the internet and real-time bidding coupled with our excellent loading facilities make overseas distance buying at our auctions an attractive and viable proposition.

We undertake a variety of auctions and can stage them from anywhere in the country. We commonly use live auctions supported by web-based internet bidding. The platform we use is provided by ATG Media, namely (I-bidder). What's more, we host and manage timed on-line auctions, private treaties and sealed tender.

In addition to our regular collective auction sales in Carlton, we undertake on-site auctions for and on behalf of private individuals and companies.

Watts & Associates is a customer-driven company dedicated in promoting value by developing, maintaining and enhancing working relationships with all of our customers.
