Auction House has added another two awards to its trophy cabinet, just weeks after being named 2015 ‘Residential Auction House of the Year’ by The Negotiator magazine.

At the Estate Agency of the Year awards last month, the brand also won the gold award for Best Auction Agency and bronze for Best Franchise, at a glittering ceremony at the Lancaster London Hotel, presented by retired Rugby Union player Matt Dawson from BBC TV’s ‘A Question of Sport’.

Commenting on the awards, Auction House Founding Director Roger Lake said: “We are delighted to have been recognised again as best performers in our sector. In particular for Auction House East Anglia to be named top auctioneer for 2015 is a huge accolade as well as a recognition of its high achievements. The Best Franchise award to AHUK makes it five successive years of a trophy in this category.”

In awarding bronze to the company for ‘Best Franchise’, the judges said: “Auction House is a superb business and it is a privilege to investigate it once again. Its consistent success in this category is absolutely due to its ability to innovate and evolve its offering without compromising on standards. Auction House UK combines the best in visionary leadership from the franchisor with strong franchisee performance.”

In naming Auction House East Anglia as Best Auction Agency, the judges said: “There is much to differentiate this company from the competition. The director has unbridled passion for the auction process, and he and his team are on a crusade to bring this method of selling to the mainstream. Precise and focussed, they have in-depth knowledge of the property market, which has resulted as them being seen as the ‘go-to’ auction house in their location.”

Roger Lake added: “These awards add further to the reputation of the Auction House brand and business; ours is a network of high-performing auction rooms that has grown rapidly since formation in 2007 to be the UK’s biggest auctioneer. Service standards remain consistently high, and our quality performances around the country certainly help to attract new sellers and buyers to the auction method of sale.”
