Phil, you absolutely killed them! Tony Leonard said you were far and away the best auctioneer he’d ever seen in action and you made 25% of the total raised by yourself – a great compliment.

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!
Thanks, Michael Ferris – Ferris Gold

VSK Footy Fever Debate
Monday, 5 August 2024
On Friday, August 2nd, the 2024 Footy Fever lunch was held to celebrate over a century of rivalry in AFL/VFL history: Carlton vs. Collingwood. A huge thank you to our dynamic MCs, Mark Allen and David “the Ox” Schwarz, for guiding us through an energetic afternoon, and to musician Mike Brady for entertaining us with his classic football anthems. A panel, featuring Brendan Fevola, David King, Mick McGuane, and Dane Swan, captivated the audience with their cherished memories from the field. Special thanks to Mick Malthouse for joining in the lively banter! We shared plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments, as our generous supporters came together to raise over $370,000. These essential funds will help Very Special Kids provide holistic palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions throughout Victoria. We were thrilled to receive pledges for 110 nights of respite and end-of-life care at Victoria’s only children’s hospice, Very Special Kids House.
