For the first time since February 2020, Dawsons Auction House is to hold its first in person event, which will take place on Wednesday 5th March at the Swansea City Stadium.

Despite successfully transitioning to online auctions following the pandemic, the firm is keen to bring back the buzz and live energy that can only be felt in the room.

In preparation for this step forward, the auction department has been given fresh new look and individual logo that they believe reflects their modern yet trusted approach to property auctions.

Dawsons has also expanded the team, appointing 18-year-old Angel Kerrigan as Auction Sales Consultant.

Return to the rostrum

Auctioneer and business partner, James Dawson, is excited to return to the rostrum: “When I started at Dawsons in January 2005 my father Mike was the auctioneer. It was in the November of that year that I took charge of my first auction. I can still remember how nervous I was as there is no preparation you can do for standing there, everyone focused on you, taking bids and bringing the gavel down to sell a property.

Auctioneering isn’t just about me however standing there taking the bids. We are very fortunate that we have a great auction team at Dawsons, who I know can be relied upon to meet the vendor needs and bring a level of professionalism that makes this department very special.”

He added: “The newest member to the team is Angel Kerrigan. Only 18 years old she has a maturity beyond her years and brings an enthusiasm and energy to the team that only an 18-year-old can!”

David Parton, Auction House Manager, added: “I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be managing Dawsons Auction House at such an exciting time in its history. With a strong team behind me, exciting plans on the horizon, and a heritage built on trust and professionalism, I am confident that we are poised for even greater success in the future.”

By combining modern technology with the traditional charm of in-room events, Dawsons is aiming to offer the excitement of a live auction, backed by the reliability and innovation of its platforms to both buyers and sellers.
