Big equipment auction coming to Corner Brook, NL, on June 27
Global auctioneer Ritchie Bros. will sell hundreds of equipment items at Marble Mountain Resort
CORNER BROOK, NL, June 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Next week, the world's largest industrial auctioneer, Ritchie Bros., will descend upon Marble Mountain Resort in Corner Brook for its first-ever auction on the west coast of Newfoundland. The June 27th event features equipment from more than 20 local contractors, including a large fleet realignment for Mike Kelly & Sons Ltd., a general contractor operating in Newfoundland for more than 60 years.
"Everyone in the industry knows Ritchie Bros., but I'm sure a lot of people in Corner Brook are wondering about all the equipment up at Marble Mountain," said David Kelly, who runs Mike Kelly & Sons with his brother Karl. "We have about 70 items of surplus equipment we aren't currently using, so we've decided to sell it. We've been buying from Ritchie Bros. for years and are excited to host them out on the west coast for the first time."
Heading up Ritchie Bros.' team in Newfoundland is ex-NHL player and recent Newfoundland Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Harold Druken.
"As a born and bred Newfoundlander it's great to bring Ritchie Bros. home," said Harold, Territory Manager for Ritchie Bros. "This auction has an excellent selection of late-model, well-maintained equipment ready to go to work for new owners. We welcome everyone to come check out the event. It's open to public and all the items will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices. Who knows, maybe someone will go home with a nice mini excavator to help with their gardening."
