ABOUT PETER WESTERMAN

I am an Octarian, a lover of steam trains and BMW motorbikes.But initially I started out selling welding equipment in the 1950s for top British companies when we sold only the very best products. After starting my first company and selling out, I ventured into a totally niche market of second-hand welding and cutting equipment.A true salesman back in the day, I stepped away from that role to one of Buyer for Westermans International, our family owned and run company. I now travel the world buying used welding and fabrication machinery. A huge task to replenish the machines supply daily.Through the business I have become a bit of a celebrity later on in life! The BBC News featured me last year and I did a Desert Island Disc slot on BBC Radio Leicester as well as writing article for the local and national papers. You see see more here at our Media Page The best way to know if I really do have all this energy is to get in touch when you are disposing of any surplus used welding or fabrication equipment. It will me you speak to and me who travels out to view the machinery and secure the deal. So watch out for the guy with white hair!Specialties: buying, purchasing, procurement, agents, commission, welding equipment, mechanised plasma cutters
