"Richmond Film Services is a big name in the pro-audio world and this sale is an unparalleled opportunity to acquire some of the highest standard pro-audio equipment that we have ever seen come on to the second-hand market. The equipment has been maintained to extremely high standards and this is a testament to the tireless work of Nigel Woodford and his team over the many years the company has been in operation. The sale of the assets represents a rare chance for users to not only grab a piece of British pro-audio history but provide themselves with the capabilities to go after the business that will no longer be fulfilled by this company," said Nick Taylor, Senior Vice President, Liquidity Services.

"After a long and illustrious career in the pro-audio equipment rental industry, Nigel Woodford is retiring and the decision has been made to sell the assets of the company. We selected Liquidity Services because of their unrivalled international Audio-Visual and Broadcast buyer base which has been bolstered from the multiple major broadcast sales undertaken by the company over Summer 2018. Liquidity Services has been impressed by the high standard of our equipment, and this is one of the key reasons our client list has included major film productions and iconic British cultural and sporting events," said Emma Morrison, Richmond Film Services.
