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. In recent times, we have seen a massive increase in overseas buyers attending live and buying online.

So, if you have anything you would like to sell, or are interested in buying with us, contact Watts and one of their auction staff will be happy to help.
