The Future of Lyme Bay Auctions

Simon's Devon auction house just made a bold move that could change how buyers, sellers, and house-clearance customers walk through the door. Simon reveals why Lyme Bay Auctions has bought its first premises in Colyton, and why leaving the warehouse model behind could make the business feel far more approachable. Harry and Simon also unpack the realities of running auctions in peak summer, from scorching clearance jobs to the logistics of keeping a hands-on business moving.CONTACTthegavelandthegabble@gmail.comLinktreeYouTube www.youtube.com/@thegavelandthegabbleInstagram @thegavelandthegabbleTwitter @GavelandGabble TikTok @laughingauctioneerwww.windsorauctions.co.ukwww.lymebayauctions.co.ukABOUT THE PODCAST The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on.
