“My association with Phil goes back many years and he has been a significant influence in my auctioneering career. This is just one of the reason’s why Phil is the coach of all our auctioneers at McGrath!”

I first met Phil back in 2015, where we engaged his services to conduct Auctioneering training for my staff. It became evident that Phil was not only a natural but, the best auctioneer I had ever seen. I soon after engaged Phil to Auctioneer at a land subdivision where five lots were being offered for sale by auction in one day. Phil and I worked well together, his advice, direction before the auction made sure we were in a perfect position, come auction day. The auction was a huge success with $647,000 above the reserve prices achieved, a considerable crowd and thrilled vendors.
I only use Phil, and I will only ever use Phil for my auctions as I would never want to risk my vendor’s result by not using the best!

Ash Barty takes the Don
Friday, 11 October 2019
I was privileged to be at Crown for the 2019 Sporting Hall of Fame Dinner to witness Ash Barty (No1 in the world) take out this year’s Don award. After she received a standing ovation, to hear her acceptance speech was amazing. She was so natural with no barrow to push, truly humble and extremely gratified to win the coveted award. She said there had been lumps and bumps along the way but together with her team she is thrilled to have reached the top! It was so refreshing. She is such a champion in so many ways!
