  • Formed in 1936, Wilsons Auctions continues to be a family-owned and managed business.

    The company has grown from a single auction site in Northern Ireland to become the largest independent auction company in the UK and Ireland with an annual hammer total in excess of £620 million.

    Growing organically and by acquisition, Wilsons Auctions manages over 3,200 auctions annually across 19 sites in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

    Family values are core to our business ethos and objectives. Noted for our 'can do' attitude, we make sure that our customers have the very best, personal auction experience. Offering every type of asset at auction, Wilsons Auctions has pioneered world-first auctions.
