Simon Bailey has joined LSH Auctions as director to expand its private and public sector offering. He will also act as an auctioneer. With 14 years’ experience in the industry, previously as head of London auctions at Eddisons, and prior to that as an auctioneer for JLL, Bailey is also a past winner of the prestigious RICS Matrix Auctioneering competition.
Simon explains why he wanted to join LSH Auctions: “Having previously worked with Oliver and knowing the rest of the LSH Auctions team well, this was a clear opportunity for me to help develop further what has become a significant force in the UK auction market.”
Oliver Childs, national head of auctions at Lambert Smith Hampton comments: “2015 was a stand-out year for LSH Auctions – we grew revenue by 25%, launched a comprehensive property, plant and machinery auction service following our acquisition of ES Group and developed an online property auction platform – believed to be the first in the industry by a traditional commercial auctioneer.
“2016 is set to be a similarly ambitious year and we are delighted that Simon has joined us as at such an exciting time. The depth of experience we have as a team will serve our clients well as we continue to be the auctioneer of choice.”
