I have been an auctioneer for 32 years. I have headed various companies over this period and had just negotiated a deal to sell my shares in Charles Phillips & Sons (of Edinburgh) Ltd, a company that I co-founded and that has traded globally since 1987. 

Unfortunately, due to the viral pandemic that has devastated our country, my share sale has been postponed. When we are eventually unlocked it is predicted that mass gatherings won't be allowed until October. This will severely restrict our live auction business.

I have agreed that re-negotiations to sell sell my shares will resume once the company has returned to it's auction calendar.

In the meantime it has been decided that I will sell the entire inventory of Charles Phillips & Sons.

Apart from the auctioneering services the company provided, many investments were also made during my tenure and the company has now decided to sell a 30 year collection of very unusual items ranging from vintage cars, original art, rare signed memorabilia, objet d'art, whisky and wines, diamonds and colour stone jewellery, Persian carpets, rare carvings and many collectibles.
