We are delighted to announce our new-look auctioneering team, bringing together experience, fresh talent and a shared commitment to delivering successful livestock and machinery sales for our clients and customers to the market.

In recent weeks the Market Team has been enhanced by Amanda Wilford and Gilly Chapman who have joined Bletsoes with a wealth of experience, knowledge and extensive contacts list. Together with Becky Ringer and the wider team, they provide excellent administration support to the Auctioneers and our customers, across all sales from livestock through to machinery and equipment. We’re excited to now share more about the Auctioneering team at Bletsoes.

MEET THE TEAM:

Richard Spendlove – Senior Auctioneer

Recognised for his hard work and success with our Collective and on-farm Machinery Sales, Richard becomes a Senior Auctioneer, with a particular focus on Saturday sales with breeding and store stock, Collective Sales, on-farm sales and specialist machinery auctions. Richard joined Bletsoes as a Rural Chartered Surveyor and whilst he will continue to undertake some professional work, his primary focus will now be Auctions.

Brandon Francis – Senior Auctioneer

With auctioneering experience gained in Norfolk and also in the Midlands, Brandon will focus primarily on Thursday sales, canvassing prime lambs and cull ewes, working to achieve the best outcomes for farmers whilst building buyer relationships.

Jack Burchmore – Auctioneer & Rural Chartered Surveyor

Jack has joined Bletsoes as a Junior Auctioneer, working alongside Richard and Brandon to develop his selling experience across livestock and machinery sales. Jack will also continue his professional rural surveying work within the Agricultural team.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express the Partners sincere thanks to Jake Wagstaff for his contribution to Bletsoes. Over the coming weeks, Jake will no doubt play an important role in handing over his responsibilities to Richard, Brandon and Jack before leaving us at the end of November to embark on his next chapter. We are grateful for his continued commitment, hard work and we wish him every success for the future.

We’re excited about this next chapter for Bletsoes! There’s been plenty going on behind the scenes, and we look forward to building on this work with our new team. In the meantime, if you see Brandon or Jack in the market or at a machinery sale, please take the time to introduce yourself and give them a warm welcome.
