A Triumphant Day at Dawsons Auction House – March 5th 2025 - Live Auction Recap
Our latest in-room auction was a fantastic success, and who better to share the highlights than our very own Auction Manager, David Parton. Here’s his roundup of the event, capturing the energy, teamwork, and incredible results of the day:
WHAT A DAY
"Our live auction on March 5th: was an outstanding success, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Everything came together perfectly—the venue was absolutely superb, the atmosphere was electric, and the support we received from Swansea.com was second to none. Even the weather played its part, blessing us with glorious sunshine and blue skies, ensuring our clients arrived with a spring in their steps and excitement in the air.
A huge part of this success was due to the seamless operation of our new booking system. In the lead-up to the auction, it worked flawlessly, allowing for smooth pre-event organisation and ensuring that everything ran efficiently on the day. The companies that supported us through advertising in our catalogues and setting up stands at the event played a vital role in enhancing the experience for everyone involved. Their presence contributed to the professional and dynamic feel of the day, reinforcing the strength of our network and partnerships.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the phenomenal team at Dawsons Auction House. The amount of unseen work carried out in the build-up to the event was immense, and on the day, their efforts were simply outstanding. From confirming client bookings at the door to acting as runners, facilitating exchanges, and ensuring everything ran smoothly, every single member of the team gave their all. Their professionalism, energy, and dedication were truly inspiring.
A special thank you must also go to our colleagues across Dawsons, including the Marketing, Sales, and Lettings teams, whose support throughout the preparation and on the day itself was invaluable. It was a true team effort, and it made all the difference in delivering such a well-organised and successful event.
One of the standout moments of the day was witnessing our Auctioneer, James Dawson, in action. I had heard great things about his skill and expertise, and he did not disappoint. His ability to control the room, engage bidders, and drive the prices was nothing short of masterful. It was an absolute pleasure to watch him work, and his performance undoubtedly contributed to the auction’s fantastic results.
Our partners handling telephone bids also played a crucial role, adding an extra layer of excitement to the room. Their professionalism and ability to secure competitive bids helped create a dynamic atmosphere, further elevating the energy of the event. Meanwhile, our IT team worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring that every lot went under offer seamlessly and that the entire auction progressed without a hitch.
And let’s not forget the little details that made a big difference—refreshments! The teas, coffees, and biscuits were much appreciated by everyone, keeping energy levels high and conversations flowing throughout the day.
All in all, March 5th was a landmark auction for Dawsons Auction House. The success of the day is a testament to the incredible hard work of our team, the fantastic support of our partners, and the unwavering enthusiasm of our clients. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making it such a memorable and rewarding event—we’re already looking forward to the next one!"
