From 2013 to 2028 Colin is a member of the Golding Young team undertaking a world-wide antiques valuation program for HM Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office having worked in Vienna, Rome and Madrid to name but a few.
In 2021 Colin handled the sale of Newbold Pacey Hall. A family estate collection that started circa 1780. The two day sale saw over 1,000 lots under the hammer taking £366,000. An important sale at any time, but even more impressive when planned, catalogued, delivered & conducted under Covid-19 Lockdown regulations.
There may have been no bidders on site and no marquee, but but the bidding was still intense. An experienced hand is often the best guide through a difficult landscape.
