Auctioneer, Neill Saint, produced a marathon performance when he sold 600 lots of prime Olympic Village catering equipment on 31st January. The equipment was just 6 months old and in pristine condition and we were delighted to see lots of new customers tempted by the rare chance to buy barely used equipment at great prices.

Top of the podium were a Zanolli Double Deck Mobile Conveyor Pizza Oven which sold for £5200, a Meiko Ecostar 530F Dishwasher for £1242, 4 Burner Ranges going for as much as £650 and Williams Double Door Bottle Chillers hitting the £500 mark.

The Olympic catering effort was so huge – catering for over 22,000 people a day – that this is just the first of three sales of the kitchens: the next is to be held in April so watch this space for confirmation of the sale date.

That's all folks!!
