Closure of Animal Health Trust in Newmarket results in rare sale of specialist veterinary equipment
The closure of an animal treatment centre in Newmarket, whose clients included those from West Norfolk, has resulted in a rare sale of specialist equipment.
The Animal Health Trust had faced fundraising issues exacerbated by the coronvirus pandemic and was forced to close its doors via a proposed liquidation earlier this year. The site housed operations including a small animal clinic, MRI equipment and cancer centre, hydrotherapy unit, kennels, and extensive scientific and R&D laboratories.
The sale, managed by asset management specialists Gordon Brothers, will be of interest to those from the animal care, veterinary and agriculture industries.
Assets for sale via private treaty and online auction include small animal and horse veterinary equipment including the contents of consultation rooms and operating theatres, cat and dog recovery cages and kennels, fixed and mobile x-ray machines and hydrotherapy equipment.
Office furniture and general equipment, such as Apple iPads, monitors, televisions, workstations, chairs and commercial kitchen equipment are also for sale.
A second sale of a large quantity of laboratory and research equipment and agricultural plant and machinery will take place in October.
The online auction will close at 3pm on October 1. Viewing is strictly by appointment only on Monday and Tuesday, September 28 and 29 from 9am to 4pm at AHT, Lanwades Park, Kentford, Newmarket, CB8 7UU.
