About Addison
Addison Gelpey has spent more than two decades working as a professional auctioneer, master of ceremonies and valuer. His career has taken him from London salerooms to charity events and fundraising rooms around the world.

The approach
Addison has owned two London salerooms and built his career around art, antiques, jewellery and live auctions. That background gives him the judgement and control needed when real money is moving quickly in a room.
In practice
Charity events require a different touch from a conventional sale. Guests are there to enjoy themselves and support a cause. Addison’s job is to bring those two things together without losing sight of either.
What matters
Addison is happy to advise before an event, work closely with the production team and help organisers avoid the common mistakes that flatten a live auction. On the night, he brings the energy.
“From the moment he stepped onto the stage, he had the room buzzing with laughter, excitement and generous bidding.
