Our main category is anything commercial. We buy anything that has commercial value, or that I’m confident I can sell”. Mark tells us that his phone is like a 24/7 hotline “If something breaks down, people give us a ring and we’ve usually got something to replace it that we can get to them fast, at a fair price”. This tends to be pubs, cafes and restaurants and odd occasions late on a Saturday night!
