David Speight, who heads up the Manchester and National Plant Teams comments:

"This was an interesting instruction, as our sale coincided with one of the largest releases of surplus stored locomotives from English Welsh and Scottish Railways for some years. Nonetheless, a structured approach to marketing the vehicles secured a lot of interest and we were able to dispose the fleet to various buyers at prices which delighted our clients. With our ongoing valuation work in the heritage and spot hire railway markets we seem to have firmly established GVA Grimley in a niche market!"
