The business, which produced spirits under the ‘two birds’ brand, went into administration in April after experiencing a decline in sales, when a number of key contracts ended.

It was closed by administrators last month, with the loss of 58 jobs, after a search for a buyer for the firm was unsuccessful.

Items to be auctioned include four bottling lines, five gin stills, as well as packaging and laboratory equipment.

The auction is being carried out on-line, with a viewing day this Thursday – more details HERE
