We were delighted with the result of the auction! Your expertise in encouraging a more dollars for each item ensured that maximum price was paid for many of the items on sale.

I and The Auction Company wouldn’t be here without your involvement over the past 3+ years. You are like Yoda is to Luke, you have always pushed me and lent a helpful hand whenever required.
Your experience over 30 years is unrivalled and the more we have worked together the more I have seen your knowledge imparted onto me. All auctioneers should benefit from that.
Regularity of training has been integral to professional development and it’s interesting as training does not always mean rehearsing as an auctioneer. I would say that our training has come in the form of learning more about the english language, things like grammar and pronunciation. It has come in the form of reviewing auction situations and brainstorming various ways we would have handled it differently. It has come in the form of introducing me to a voice trainer, to improve how I use my voice. and these are just some of the things you have guided me on.
Without you highlighting the importance of each of these key ingredients I may not have gone on the journey to learn more to improve my all round auctioneer performance, which has directly improved me as a person.
Overall, you are a true and honest individual. I trust you and I am grateful to call you my friend. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone, as you live and breathe auction and genuinely care about everyone’s well being and progress.
Thank you for everything you have done and consider this a very small representation of the appreciation I have for you and the help you provide.

Time proves a killer at Australasian Auctioneers Comp.
Thursday, 4 October 2012
Adelaide has hosted the 2012 Australasian Auctioneer’s Competition. 15 competitors have competed for the title from all states and territories and New Zealand with the exception ofNSW.
The field has been narrowed to 5 with some missing the cut due due to the harsh penalties for going over the time limit. The most notable to miss out was Jason Andrew from QLD, the 2010 winner, Jason went some 2 minutes over time. The finalists, two from New Zealand Andrew North (last years runner up) and Daniel Coulson, one each from SA Michael Fenn, QLD Ben Brady and WA Rob Mason. Well done to Rob Mason from WA, it is the first time WA has had a finalist.
Jeremy Tyrrell from Vic who gave a very solid performance at his first at the event but alas his time overrun put him out of contention.
Congratulations to all the contestants it is a great effort to get to the competition and win lose or draw they will be better where it counts, on the street! Good luck to those in the final which will be held at 1.30 today cst. Odds are with last years runner up Andrew North to go one better this year and claim the title.The winner will be announced tonight at the event dinner.
