MANCHESTER, England, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sandhills East has acquired Resale Weekly, the United Kingdom's leading resource for buying and selling new and used construction equipment and parts. With an already-strong presence in the global construction, agriculture, transportation, heavy machinery, and aviation industries, the acquisition enables Sandhills to further its reach across the United Kingdom and beyond.

With over five decades of history, Resale Weekly (www.resaleweekly.com) boasts a noteworthy presence in the construction market. "Resale Weekly is widely recognized across the U.K. and internationally for its longevity and pervasiveness," explains Sandhills' Chief Operations Officer Shawn Peed. "It's well-established and well-known among both buyers and sellers."

The Resale Weekly print publication offers new and used classified ads, with corresponding listings on www.resaleweekly.com. With the acquisition, the brand will fully integrate into the publications provided by Sandhills East and Sandhills Publishing, the global distribution of which exceeds five million publications each month. ResaleWeekly.com will also integrate into the network of successful trade websites provided by Sandhills East and Sandhills Publishing. The acquisition ultimately links the success of Sandhills' Machinery Trader across Europe with the established presence of Resale Weekly to allow buyers greater access to assets for sale and sellers broader exposure to active buyers in the market for their equipment.
