Perry Process Equipment Ltd

The benefits of selling your surplus equipment.

Buying used equipment is all about saving time and money.  Did you known that by selling YOUR surplus equipment, you can actually make some money?

Selling your redundant items to a reputable company will give you a much greater return than if you scrap them and it really isn’t much hassle.  Our Senior Buyer Paul Cook talks below about the procedure we take at Perry when buying used equipment.

As well as getting some return, it will also free up space in your production facility, allowing you the room and investment to upgrade and expand as you need to.

Here are the selling options at Perry:

• Outright Purchase: Perry will purchase your equipment for cash.
• Trade-In: Trade-In your surplus equipment to discount from the cost of purchasing a piece of used equipment from our stock.
• Consignment: We will sell your equipment on your behalf.
• Asset Disposal: Complete package tailor-made for you. Activities can include Asset Valuation, Dismantling, Demolition, Inventory Reporting, Marketing, Storage and Logistics.

You can read more about this and some case studies on our website.

Get to know our Buyer, Mr Paul Cook:

Paul has been working for Perry for 21 years!  He started with the company as a young office junior and quickly found himself in the Inventory Department.  It was during these early years that his passion and knowledge of used process equipment began.  

We asked Paul a few questions and here are his answers:

When did you start working for Perry:

As an Office Junior in 1992.  I then spent some time working in the Transport Department and was also Project Manager on several paint plants that we purchased for stock.

When did you become Buyer?

In 2003 I was made Purchasing Manager.  I am now Senior Buyer and have Greg working alongside me as Buyer.

What’s the best part of your job?

Carrying out on-site inspections.

What’s the most satisfying part of your job?

Watching the equipment I’ve purchased being sold and reused for its original purpose.

Can you tell us the procedure for buying used equipment for stock?

• I will always ask to receive and review technical specifications and photographs of the equipment. 
• Carry out an on-site inspection to review equipment and technical documentation. 
• Once the inspection is done I will make an offer, either loaded to transport or As Is Where Is.  Perry can organise the safe removal of equipment and the required transport.
• Perry will make payment prior to collection/removal and bring the equipment into stock.
