Strategic Relocation Fuels Expansion and Innovation at Adam Hewitt Ltd.

In a significant strategic move, Adam Hewitt Ltd. recently transitioned its operations from Worcester Road in Harvington to a new facility at the Sandy Lane Industrial Estate on Barracks Road in Stourport on Severn. This relocation was driven by the necessity to accommodate the company’s growing volume of agricultural salvage, spurred by an expanded portfolio of contracts with leading insurance companies.

 

The new site offers a suite of enhanced facilities that support the company’s operational efficiency and growth. The Stourport site, formerly a storage compound for a prominent car manufacturer, is well-suited to meet the demands of Adam Hewitt’s expanding operations. It boasts extensive external and internal storage, a dedicated area for vehicle washing and valeting, a larger office block for the increasing workforce, and ample loading areas for both customers and the company’s fleet of HGVs. These improvements have significantly streamlined operations, facilitating the handling of increased uplifts and the initiation of a second weekly auction, now held every Thursday, in addition to the traditional Tuesday auction.

Expanding Horizons with Specialised Van Auctions

Adam Hewitt Ltd., long known for its expertise in agricultural salvage equipment, is now venturing into auctioning salvaged vans. This expansion is a direct result of new contracts that have led to a higher volume of salvage vans being collected. To capitalise on this opportunity, the company is launching a specialised van auction on May 30th. The inaugural auction will feature a diverse catalogue of 40 lots, including models such as Volkswagen Crafters and Ford Transit Customs. This venture into specialised auctions is part of a broader strategy to explore new market segments and diversify auction offerings.

Leveraging Social Media for Enhanced Customer Engagement

In today’s digital age, Adam Hewitt Ltd. recognises the importance of effective communication with customers and buyers. The company has embraced social media as a cost-effective and dynamic platform to increase its visibility and engage with a broader audience. Building on a solid foundation on traditional platforms like Facebook, the company has expanded its presence to Instagram and TikTok. These platforms are used to showcase visually engaging content, from photos to quirky videos of damaged vehicles, attracting a growing number of followers and enhancing customer interaction.

Future Plans and Vision

Looking ahead, Adam Hewitt Ltd. has ambitious plans to further cement its position in the industry. The company aims to continue expanding its contract portfolio while developing its new long-term home at the Sandy Lane Industrial Estate into a central hub for operations. This site is poised to become a focal point for the company, reflecting its commitment to growth and innovation. Customers and partners are encouraged to stay tuned for more exciting developments as Adam Hewitt Ltd. continues to evolve and expand its operations.
