Network Knowledge and Hilco Appraisal have agreed to trial the IT asset disposal service.

Due to the speed necessary to wind up a failing business, administrators are finding very little time to focus on getting the best possible value from the disposal of the IT Assets. This service allows the administrators to offload the responsibility for getting the best value for these IT assets whilst retaining overall control.
