Hassalls Service Offerings

Event Auctions (On-Site Sales)
History has proven an ‘event’ style traditional auction consistently provides two outcomes;

1. Complete closure of sales at a fixed date
2. The highest interest and therefore return on asset value

The best ‘traditional sales’ occur when there’s a credible reason for the sale i.e. it’s not just someone selling part of the fleet and asking for retail.

Online Auctions
Accessibility of products and services has been crucial to meet the demand for Hassalls’ global client base. Harnessing the power of modern technology, they enable an immediate connection with buyers and sellers.
