Every auction is different. Before the event I will work closely with you to understand:
* Your audience and the atmosphere you want to create
* The lots being offered and their key selling points
* Your preferred bidding increments and auction format
* Timings, targets and event objectives
* Online, telephone and commission bidding requirements
* The appropriate style, presentation and pace
From formal black-tie fundraising dinners to fast-moving commercial sales, the delivery can be adapted to suit your organisation and audience.
I graduated from the World Wide College of Auctioneering in June 2019.
As a second-generation auctioneer, I have grown up around the auction industry and developed my own distinctive style: fast, fun and effective.
I have worked with many clients, to include:
* Hammer Time Live
* Pro Auction Ltd
* Manor Park Classics
* Cheffins
* Dunn Bros
* NCM Auctions
* Cullen’s of Surrey
* Bidpath
I have conducted and supported auctions involving classic vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, plant and machinery, hotel contents, commercial assets, furniture, toys, collectibles and charity events.
A professional auctioneer does more than call out numbers. The role requires control, timing, clear communication and an ability to create competition without losing the confidence of the room.
I have experience conducting auctions across a wide range of sectors, including:
* Classic cars and motorcycles
* Tractors, agricultural machinery and plant
* Commercial vehicles and equipment
* Hotel, restaurant and hospitality assets
* Furniture and business clearances
* Toys, collectibles and vintage items
* Artwork, jewellery, coins and memorabilia
* Live, timed and webcast auctions
My fast, engaging style helps maintain momentum throughout the sale while ensuring bidders remain informed and confident.

I regularly work within the classic vehicle market as an auctioneer for Manor Park Classics.
My high-energy delivery is particularly suited to car and motorcycle auctions, where maintaining momentum and communicating clearly with room, telephone and online bidders is essential.
From affordable enthusiast vehicles to important collectors’ cars and motorcycles, every lot is presented with enthusiasm while keeping the bidding accurate, fair and controlled.
Fast-moving plant and machinery auctions demand concentration, product awareness and confident control of bidding increments.
I have experience selling:
* Tractors
* Excavators and plant
* Agricultural machinery
* Commercial vehicles
* Workshop equipment
* Tools and attachments
I work within the agricultural auction sector which also includes operating live online bidding technology for Cheffins. I was also previous auctioneer for Dunn Bros.

I have worked alongside Pro Auction Ltd on major hotels, auctioning furniture and commercial assets.
Previous sales and venues have included:
* The Dorchester
* The Savoy
* Simpson’s in the Strand
* Eynsham Hall
* The Westbury
* Westminster Fire Station
* Commercial furniture and catering clearances
These auctions can involve hundreds or thousands of lots, requiring consistent pace, accurate selling and close coordination between the auctioneer, clerking team and online bidding platform.
I can provide more than an auctioneer.
With extensive experience as an online auction operator, I understand the technology behind a successful webcast sale. My services can include:
* Online bidding-platform operation
* Audio and video streaming setup
* Pre-sale platform checks
* Online-bid monitoring
* Telephone and commission-bid coordination
* Communication between the rostrum and auction team
* Backup auctioneering support
* Troubleshooting during live events
While I worked as an online auction operator, I have supported sales for organisations including Cheffins, Historics, Woolley & Wallis, Tate Ward and Propstore.
This combination of rostrum experience and technical knowledge makes me particularly valuable when an auction must run simultaneously in the room and online.
