BARONS LOOKS EAST

NEWS RELEASE

Owners and would-be owners of classic and collectors’ cars in the East of England now have a source of expert assistance in auction matters, as Saffron Walden-based Julian Shoolheifer has become a full-time member of the Barons team.

Julian has had a part-time involvement with Barons for the past two years, but has now strengthened his commitment to full-time, in the role of Valuer/Consigner and Director of Business Development.

“Julian’s full time commitment to the company can only strengthen an already professional and experienced team. His expertise will benefit Barons’ customers across the UK and overseas, but those in the East of England will benefit from having him living on their doorstep,” said Barons’ Managing Director Laurence Sayers-Gillan.

Julian is one of very few professionally qualified valuers working in the classic car auction field. His entire working career has been related to the classic car valuation and sale industry starting with Sotheby’s Classic Car Department, followed by a period in the Automobilia Department at Brooks. He returned to Sotheby’s to head up the Classic Car Department in the mid 1990s, then spent five years developing the Vintage & Classic Car Auctions Department at Cheffins. Under Julian’s stewardship, the department’s turnover rose from just £100,000 to £2.5 million.

“With the closure of Cheffins’ classic car department six years ago, there ceased to be a well-established specialist classic auction house serving the Eastern counties. Barons have now firmly established themselves as providing a quality service and obtaining great prices for some superb cars over the years, and I believe that the combination of my experience and Barons’ quality of service and affordable rates is good news for buyers and sellers of classic and collectors cars in the East,” said Julian.
