DEVON, UK, April 4, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hickman Shearer and CA Global Partners have announced a follow-up sale of Arena TV assets involving an estimated £1 million of equipment held in the locked office of former boss Richard Yeowart.

The companies raised £8 million on behalf of creditors in a landmark three-day auction, with private treaty sales, in February.

It involved over 3,000 lots, from Outside Broadcasting trucks to cameras, lenses and hundreds of kilometres of cabling, creating an unprecedented opportunity for TV production companies to acquire valuable equipment at a time when primary market prices were on the rise.

The new sale, conducted via a live webcast on May 4, will conclude the Arena assets dispersal, offering a significant holding of further equipment not previously released. It includes cameras, lenses, grip, an OB trailer, tenders and outside broadcasting production gear.*

The release follows the ongoing investigation by the Serious Fraud Office into the scandal.

Tim Chapman, Managing Director of Hickman Shearer, said: “Recovering the value of assets in as effective and timely a manner as possible on behalf of creditors is a vital aspect of any administrative process like this. The results from our February dispersal, which went considerably over estimate, show that the modern auction process is an excellent way of achieving this.”

CAGP, which operates a live online bidding system with global reach, registered more than 850 bidders from over 50 countries for February auction series.

“We anticipate just as much enthusiasm for the offering this time around,” said Dan Main, EMEA Director.

“The quality of the equipment and professionalism of the teams that looked after it is second to none, and it is extremely rare to see equipment of this standard available at auction.”
