Record year as hammer comes down on 2023

Record year as hammer comes down on 2023

AS we motor to the end of 2023, Richard Winterton Auctioneers is celebrating a record year.

Over the past 12 months, the family firm has held 55 sales at its auction houses at Fradley and Tamworth and has seen a 17.5 per cent increase in turnover on last year as well as a 10 per cent increase in staff.

Richard has also personally put in the miles, notching up more than 30,000 miles on the road travelling across the county and beyond to make more than 700 home visits throughout 2023.

"Lots of hard work goes into getting the right results," he said.

"I am really proud of our team and want to say thank you to all our staff for their dedication and hard work.

"A big thank you too to our clients and customers.

"We have plenty of plans in place for 2024 and I look forward to working with everyone next year."

Away from the saleroom, Richard Winterton Auctioneers has continued as headline sponsor for both Staffordshire’s Best Kept Village Community Competition and Lichfield Cathedral’s Christmas illuminations.

Richard has also been confirmed as the official auctioneer of St Giles Hospice's March of the Elephants public art trail, which will parade across Lichfield, Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield next summer.

We close for Christmas at 5pm tomorrow (Thursday, December 21) and reopen at 9am on Wednesday, January 3.

Our first auction of 2023 is the Antiques & Home Sale at The Lichfield Auction Rooms, Fradley Park, taking place on Monday and Tuesday, January 8-9.

All sales start at 9.30am and catalogues can be viewed online via our Auction Dates page.
