The Le Garff family is a fine example of Ritchie Bros. helping farmers and business owners pass the torch. When it\u2019s time for the next generation of leaders to take the wheel, retiring farmers and business owners can count on Ritchie Bros. to help them sell their equipment for the highest possible returns. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Family Affair<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following more than 30 years of growth in a farming business launched by his parents, Thierry Le Garff was looking at retirement and the inevitable succession of the business for his children. All the advice he was hearing was that he should work with Ritchie Bros. \u2013 because selling a substantial fleet of machines that includes heavy assets like tractors and harvesters is what our experts do day in and day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re reaching retirement age,\u201d<\/em> Thierry said, \u201cand we have to plan for the future.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retirements and major transitions in the agricultural sector can be tedious and challenging, particularly for an operation such as Le Garff\u2019s where a significant part of the value lies in the equipment they own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’ve always wanted to keep equipment in good condition, sometimes even buying new ones in anticipation,\u201d <\/em>Thierry said. \u201cBut today, prices are very high. Even with depreciation, it’s become almost impossible to get back.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the time does inevitably come to either refresh your fleet of machines or sell them to the highest bidder before retiring, how do you proceed? Where is the best place to sell? Where can you find the right buyers? That\u2019s where Ritchie Bros. comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why work with Ritchie Bros.?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a steadily growing network of fully engaged buyers and a host of digital products and services to offer, Ritchie Bros. is Europe\u2019s go-to marketplace for used agricultural equipment and other heavy assets.
