We need people who share our vision so we can move on to the next level with the business.

“We are on an exciting journey and we’re now looking for individuals to help us deliver on this vision we have here in the city of Newport. If you think you’re the person we’re looking for and want to be part of the most successful property auction business in Wales give me a call or drop me a line.”
