“We were unsure how to get dispose of some surplus equipment at our school, so we contacted Pickles. They were fantastic to deal with and their support throughout the process made the sale surprisingly simple. The price we received at auction exceeded our expectations and we would use them again.”
“In just under 12 months, Pickles have helped transform our fleet disposal processes by providing a streamlined national approach with branches in each of our key locations. We have seen consistently good returns on vehicles, regardless of their age, condition and location. From the outset our Account Manager assisted by implementing a customised offering to suit the operational requirements of our business”
