Neverland London is a hospitality and events company based in Fulham. Their London Beach Bar, also known as Fulham Beach Club, launched in 2016. An Instagram-able beach club paradise hidden in the capital, it included a range of creative outdoor and indoor spaces, a covered pergola, veranda seating and outdoor beach areas for year-round parties, bottomless brunches and an enviable cocktail selection.

The venue was also the go-to destination for corporate events. With a capacity of up to 500 people, Neverland hosted private events and product launches for brands like Disney, Amazon, L’Oreal and Paypal and regular networking events and meet-ups.

After 8 years of partying, the venue is now due to close at the end of September and Neverland London are working with us to auction the entire contents. A sustainable and circular approach that will see the contents of Neverland reused, renewed and repurposed across the hospitality and entertainment industry and beyond.

This auction is ideal for bar and restaurant owners, event management companies and planners, prop houses, interior designers, clubs and community groups, or anyone wanting to give their garden or outdoor space an Insta-ready makeover.

You can view the full catalogue now. Bidding ends 18 September.

An exclusive no-reserve online auction is now live and includes retail fixtures, branded merchandising units and concession stands, furniture, racking and much more.

NCM Auctions are clearing the historic store, once referred to as ‘the Harrods of the North’.

Founded in 1780 by Susannah Brown, the department store was a key part of Chester’s cultural identity. The striking Georgian, Tudor and Gothic facades became synonymous with Chester and one of the city’s most well-known retail attractions.

Its status was such that when Debenhams took over the Grade I listed building in 1976, it was the only location that traded under its original name. The store closed its doors to shoppers in early 2021 when Debenhams entered liquidation.

Alex McCormick, Partnerships Lead at NCM Auctions, explains: “Our auctions help businesses, independent retailers, groups and charities access high-quality retail fixtures and fittings at a fraction of the cost of acquiring these items new.

We also know the important role this iconic building plays in Chester’s heritage and this gives local people and past employees the chance to own a piece of history.”

The auction for the former Browns of Chester store is live now and bidding ends on September 5 from 11am.

Viewings are available on September 4 by appointment only. To book call the NCM team on 01302 898260.

With 77 goals in 92 games for Brazil, Pelé held the record as the national team’s top goal scorer for over fifty years.

The Group has appointed South Yorkshire based auction and asset management specialists NCM
Auctions to consolidate surplus equipment from the NEC Group’s flagship venue, the NEC,
Birmingham.

The exclusive online auction features a variety of equipment such as forklifts, hot cupboards,
refrigeration units, catering units, drinks dispensing machines, commercial safes, commercial ovens,
washing stations and much more.

NCM’s unique approach allows this equipment to be redeployed and renewed rather than going to
landfill. A sustainable approach that helps drive positive social and economic impact while helping the NEC Group to ensure its work in the events industry is as sustainable as possible, limiting its
environmental impact.

On the success and clearance of our first appointment, our retained client NEC Group
have instructed us to auction their surplus Catering & Industrial Assets. This auction
presents a great opportunity to pick up quality used equipment at a fraction of the retail
cost.

Both NCM Auctions and the NEC Group hope this offering contributes to local businesses
expanding or adding to their existing inventory.

Specialist auctioneer and asset management company NCM Auctions are selling the contents of the Merseyside-based factory on behalf of specialist home appliance manufacturer Glen Dimplex.

The global business, headquartered in Dublin, has manufacturing and development centres worldwide. It produces domestic appliances for well-known consumer brands such as Morphy Richards, Britannia, Belling and LEC. In November last year, the company announced the consolidation of its UK manufacturing operations and the closure of their Prescot site.

This mostly no reserve online auction for the factory contents includes press brakes and punch presses from renowned Japanese brand Amada and high-capacity power presses from Taylor & Challen and Wilkens & Mitchell. The auction catalogue also includes lathes, milling machines, precision drills, MIG welding robots, spray booths, powder coating booths and a fully automated 12-station assembly line from Amber Industries.

Alongside the specialist manufacturing equipment are catering supplies, workbenches, extraction equipment, racking, office furniture, seating, modular buildings and more.

Glen Dimplex is working with NCM to clear the site in a sustainable way. This strategy extends the lifecycle of this specialist equipment and allows it to be reused and redeployed by various businesses and specialist manufacturers. It diverts surplus items from landfill, benefits the local community, and makes the items available to companies at a fraction of the cost of trying to acquire new equipment and machinery.

We’re pleased to be working with Glen Dimplex on this project, and their approach to sustainability and opting for a circular approach to their asset disposal has far-reaching benefits for the manufacturing industry and the wider community in and around Merseyside.

A complete factory auction like this is rare and offers our bidders access to a full range of equipment – covering everything from metal forming and punching to precision welding, assembly, painting and powder coating. We’ve seen a lot of interest from both UK and overseas bidders. In the first instance, I’d ask interested parties to contact us and secure a viewing as soon as possible.

Amy Rutherford, partnership lead at NCM Auctions

A viewing day will take place 17 July by appointment only

Please contact NCM on 01302 898260 or email the team to book.

The online auction for Glen Dimplex is due to end 18 July from 11am.

I want to bid on your auction, how do I do this?

You need to register for the auction first, input your details as well as a current debit or credit card. Nothing will be taken from your card when you register to bid.

I’ve registered but I still can’t bid…

Sorry to hear that.  There shouldn’t be any reason you can’t register. Once you’ve signed up to bid, the NCM team may need to approve you. You will receive an email notification as soon as you’ve been approved to bid (subject to your details being verified).

What are max bids?

A max bid is the most you are willing to bid on a particular item. After placing a max bid, your bid will increase incrementally whenever another bidder makes a bid that is less than your max bid. You will only pay up to your max bid, if another bidder bids more than your max bid you will need to increase your bid.

What is ‘Quick Bidding’?

We know how fast things happen in a timed auction, so we’ve added a bid box for you to place your bids directly from the auction catalogue page once approved in a Timed auction. This feature is available in both list and grid views.

After inputting your Max Bid amount, you’ll see a pop-up that asks you to confirm the bid being placed. This gives you the opportunity to read the full lot description and double check your bid amount before placing the bid.

• Clicking ‘Cancel’ will close the pop-up and no bid will be placed.
• Clicking ‘Confirm’ places the bid.

What’s the difference between live and timed auctions?

We host two types of auctions:

Live auctions are the real thing – our live audio and video feeds connect you to auctions around the world, so you can bid in real time over the internet. They are traditional auctions, based in a building, yard, farm etc. which are broadcast over bidspotter.co.uk. You can bid at the auction over the internet in real-time while experiencing the atmosphere. Or you can place your max bid before the auction goes ‘live’ so you don’t miss out.

Timed auctions take place without an auctioneer calling the sale. Each lot can be bid on for a defined time period. At the end of this period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price. The majority of NCM’s auctions are timed.

How do I bid at a timed auction?

Once, we have approved your registration you’ll then be able to begin bidding. In order to bid;

1. Find the lot you want to bid on.
2. Type in your maximum bid into the appropriate box and click ‘Place Bid’. You’ll also see the opening bid price or the next bid price below the max bid box, to give you an indication of the next bidding increment that will be accepted.

Don’t forget, just like when you’re in an auction room, bidding online is a contractual commitment to buy. When you bid in an auction there is no right of return and everything is sold as seen. Viewing is highly recommended.

How do I edit my max bids?

Don’t want to miss out on that dream lot? You can bump up your max bid by going to ‘Your account’ and clicking on your ‘Placed bids’ in live or timed auctions.

Remember, there are some restrictions on reducing your ‘max bid’. That’s because placing a max bid is a contractual commitment to buy an item if you’re the highest bidder and meet the reserve.

In a timed auction: You can reduce your max bid, but only as low as the current price.

In a live auction: You cannot reduce or remove your max bids prior to a live auction. If you have changed your mind, you’ll need to wait for the live auction to commence and reduce or remove your bid in the live bidding applet.

Are there any tips for live bidding?

Before the auction

1. Watch a live auction to see how they work first.
2. Contact the auctioneer if you have any specific questions about the lot items or delivery charges etc.
3. Carefully read the terms and conditions and important information for the auction when you make complete your auction registration.

During a live auction

1. Bid early and bid often.
2. Don’t wait till the last second to bid. Auctions can be fast-paced environments and the hammer may go down before your bid arrives.
3. Don’t rely on hearing or seeing the auctioneer. Bid using the bid amounts on your screen to follow the auction

What are the auction fees added to the hammer price?

Buyer’s Premium (BP) usually at 25% (15% for P & M auctions) on the hammer price

Hammer price VAT and Buyer’s Premium VAT at 20%

For example: Hammer price = £10

Plus Buyer’s Premium at 25% = £2.50

Plus VAT = £2.50

Amount payable = £15 (based on a hammer price of £10)

How can I arrange to view the lot?

Viewing days are generally held the day before the auction ends. Viewings must be pre-booked with NCM, please call the office on 01302 898260 to arrange a time. You must be registered for the auction

When you bid in an auction, there is no right of return, everything is sold as seen. Just like when you’re in an auction room, bidding online is a contractual commitment to buy. That’s why we recommend you find out all you can about an item, be it viewing in person or asking for a condition report, before you bid.

Jargon Buster

Below you’ll find some commonly used terms along with their definitions.

AS IS/ AS FOUND/ AS SEEN/ ALL FAULTS / AF

A declaration that the item will be sold exactly as it appears, including any faults or imperfections

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Refers to the additional charge on the hammer price that must be paid by the winning bidder. It is charged by the auctioneer to cover administrative expenses. The buyer’s premium goes directly to the auction house and not to the seller.

VAT (in an auction

20% VAT is paid on top of the hammer price and buyers premium.

CONDITION

A written description of an item’s condition. This is usually provided in the lot description, if the description is unclear, you can contact an auction house using the ‘Ask a question’ button on the lot page.

CURRENT BID

This is the leading online bid. You will need to bid an amount higher than this, to be in the lead.

EXTENSION

Sometimes you will see that an end time on a lot may be extended by 5 minutes. This is happening, as we are imitating a real auction, so whenever there is a new bid, the countdown is being extended before the final hammer.

HAMMER PRICE

The final sale price for the lot when the hammer went down – excluding any other charges such as Buyer’s Premium, taxes, online charges, and delivery charges.

INCREMENT

The amount your next bid will need to increase by, to put you in the lead (i.e. if you bid £20 and need to pay £25 to be in the lead, the increment is £5). Increments are set by the auctioneer.

MAX BID

This is the maximum amount you would pay for a lot. You can tell us the maximum amount you want to pay, and then we bid on your behalf. You don’t even have to watch the auction online. We only bid as much as you need at a live auction.

RESERVE

The lowest hammer price a lot can be sold for. This protects the seller from the lot being sold below its value.

OPENING PRICE

The price bidding will start for the sale of the lot. You will need to bid on or above the opening price to take part.

TIMED AUCTION

Timed auctions mean NCM set the time that the lots end, and the size of the increments – there’s just a bidding window and whoever bids highest wins (as long as the reserve’s met). You’ll know it’s a timed auction as the end time will be displaced on the lot page.

TIMED BID

A bid made during a timed auction. You can place a timed bid between the start and end of a timed auction. If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction (and have met the reserve price), you will win the lot.
