Mark Bacon, Managing Director for Mr Machinery, commented: "Our recent appointment of a new Territory Manager in Finland, and plans for a similar appointment to work across the Gulf States, is testament to the increasing internationalisation of the used plant and equipment market. Not only are we now sourcing a number of high-quality items from various countries – not just the UK and Ireland – but we are also seeing an extremely diverse range of online bidders. For example, we've seen a huge 300% increase in the number of West African-based registered users on www.mrmachinery.com in the past year."

Mr Machinery is a dedicated online auction portal offering a unique platform for the sale and purchase of used plant machinery. Founded in 2007, the organisation has a global audience across more than 170 countries worldwide and currently attracts an average of 25,000 unique users to its site every year. With extensive experience within the heavy equipment and logistics industries, the team provides both buyers and sellers a professional, personal and reliable service.
