Agents sell £1m of Discover Leisure stock

The Manchester office of Sanderson Weatherall has sold £1m of stock belonging to the failed caravan and motor home dealership Discover Leisure.

The Yorkshire-headquartered firm operated five dealerships including one in Chorley and another near Northwich.

The business went into administration in October with the loss of around 240 jobs.

Sanderson Weatherall held a sale and online auction of around 60 new and second hand caravan and motor homes and a large amount of camping and caravanning accessories.

The auction had around 2,000 lots and more than 1,200 trade buyers and individuals registered an interest to bid.

Sanderson Weatherall partner Roy Tubman said: "The outstanding success of the sales of the vehicles, accessories and plant and machinery is testament to the expertise and sector knowledge of Sanderson Weatherall."
