Julian is a highly regarded and prominent Auctioneer with over 35 years of impressive experience. Throughout his distinguished career, he has conducted some 1500 auctions, selling an extensive variety of lots, which range from antiques and property, through to machinery and classic cars.

His first introduction to auction houses was back in the early 1970’s, when he was taken, as a child, by his art-loving parents. From these early visits he developed a keen interest in the auction world. He started working for A&G's sister company, Anderson & Garland in the 1980’s, whilst studying for his professional exams. After qualifying in the early 1990’s, he then worked for Bonhams in London as a general valuer and auctioneer in their busy Valuations Department.

Julian is a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Fine Arts Division) and The Society of Fine Art Auctioneers. He is also a Freeman of the City of London and a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Art Scholars. His personal involvement in property includes particular interest in the buy-to-let investment market.

His career highlights have included noteworthy sales for the Duke & Duchess of Northumberland and for Durham Cathedral, as well as achieving a world record sale of £280,000 for a rare Rene Lalique Vase.

Fred was educated locally at Mowden Hall School before attending Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire. After working for a large independent Auction firm in Scotland, he joined Anderson & Garland in 2007 and quickly established himself as an accomplished and highly respected Auctioneer and Valuer. In addition, his knowledge and understanding of modern technology was instrumental in him identifying the need for, and then implementing ‘live and timed’ auction sales for Anderson & Garland back in 2009. Subsequently he has continued to work closely with our systems providers, ensuring our bespoke platform remains at the cutting edge for our clients.

Whilst Fred holds a keen interest in older and character property, as an Auctioneer he has also developed a specialist knowledge of Silver, Jewellery, Collectables and Militaria and is currently studying for his Gemmological Association qualifications and is an Associate of the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers.

Fred has been involved with the sale of a number of noteworthy collections and individual lots; however, a specific career highlight was when he oversaw the auction of a large collection of Newcastle United memorabilia, which went under the hammer to support The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
