Auctioneer

& Valuer.

As Associate Director and Lead Auctioneer at Whittaker & Biggs Auction Room, I bring over a decade of experience in valuing and selling antiques, fine art, and unique objects.

I’ve had the privilege of taking to the rostrum across the UK and appearing on popular television programmes such as BBC1’s The Bidding Room, Antiques Roadshow, The Travelling Auctioneers, and Discovery’s The Great Antiques Challenge. These opportunities allow me to share my passion for history, storytelling, and the thrill of the auction with audiences both in the room and at home.

Whether it’s providing expert valuations, uncovering the story behind an heirloom, or achieving the best possible result on sale day, I pride myself on combining traditional knowledge with a fresh, modern approach.

If you’d like advice on a single item, a full house clearance, or simply want to explore what your treasures might be worth, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
