VEHICLE DISMANTLING BUSINESS - NORTHAMPTON, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Northampton Vehicle Dismantlers (NVD) is a vehicle recycling and parts business that has been trading continuously since 1978. Based in Northampton, the business processes in excess of 100 vehicles per week and holds over 100,000 used spares on site across a wide range of makes and models. Its customer base spans trade mechanics, independent garages, private individuals, and international exporters, underpinned by a strong local reputation built over more than four decades.

The business generates revenue through two complementary streams - the sale of salvaged parts and scrap metal disposal, alongside used engine and gearbox sales, vehicle export, and on-site fitting services. As an Environment Agency Authorised Treatment Facility listed on the government's official register, it operates within a clearly defined regulatory framework, which provides reassurance to buyers and credibility with customers. With an established operational structure, this is a well-grounded acquisition for anyone looking to enter or expand within the vehicle recycling sector.

BUSINESS:

The business specialises in CAT B vehicles and undertakes CAT recycling, recovering wiring, alloys, and other higher-value materials. Each vehicle is de-polluted before parts are removed and catalogued for resale. Used engines, gearboxes, and a wide range of mechanical and body components are available across many makes and models, with next-day pallet delivery offered to trade customers. Nearly every component of the vehicle is either recylced and sold or sold for scrap to maximise the value and profit generated from each vehicle taken in.

Revenue is split approximately 60% parts and 40% scrap by margin, reflecting the stronger returns from parts relative to fluctuating scrap metal prices. It is understood that a buyer holding a TCM licence can continue trading without interruption from day one; those without should make provisions to complete the necessary compliance steps.
