Peter Johnston, Group Operations Director at Wilsons Auctions said: “There is no better way to start the New Year than announcing our success in being awarded this contract by the Department of Finance. Having fought off competition from competitors, we are delighted to be working with the Construction & Procurement Delivery as the sole supplier of auction house services to a number of Northern Ireland Public Sector bodies.

“This is a significant four-year contract for Wilsons Auctions, further expanding our services and adding to our growing list of government and law enforcement clients across the UK, Ireland and further afield. We are proud of the work we carry out on behalf of our clients and this contract will allow us to add to the £100 million worth of assets that have realised in recent years on behalf of government clients.”

The news comes as the auction company has also been awarded contracts across the UK, including a five-year contract to provide Property Store Disposal Services to Cheshire Constabulary and a four-year contract to provide auction services for the Police and Crime Commissioners for South Wales, Gwent and Dyfed Powys.
