Services
At Hickman Shearer we provide strategic, data-driven solutions across three key areas: asset valuations, management and sales.
Backed by Valoxpro and our market-leading insights, we combine deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to give our clients a competitive edge.
Every asset has a lifecycle.
Whether you need an independent valuation to support insurance, financial reporting or a transaction, ongoing management to protect and grow the value of assets already on your books, or a route to market for equipment you no longer need, our three service areas work together to give you a complete view of your asset base.
Asset valuations independently establish the value of your capital assets in plant, machinery, equipment, inventory and the built environment, under RICS and ASA methodologies, for purposes ranging from insurance and financial reporting to dispute resolution.
Asset management supports the day-to-day and strategic oversight of those assets once they’re in use, from verification and tagging through to capital advisory and technical due diligence ahead of a transaction.
Asset sales cover the disposal side: connecting sellers with the right buyers for used equipment, whether through auction, private treaty, end-of-lease remarketing or portfolio returns.
Most clients draw on more than one of these services across the life of an asset. From valuing it, managing it, and eventually selling it, which is why we deliver all three under one roof, backed by Valoxpro and a RICS-regulated approach throughout.
