Jersey-based Rabeys Universal Limited (in liquidation), which has offered fleet vehicle servicing and maintenance for over 50 years, appointed Joint Liquidators from Interpath Advisory and KPMG on 2nd May, to manage the winding up of the business.

Everything from vehicles, tools, garage plant and equipment will be included in the online auction. Nearly 250 items spanning commercial vehicles such as 2022 Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.6 multijet vans, 2023 Renault traffic vans and 2019 Ford Ranger Wildtrac 4×4 will be included in lots.
