Professional charity auctioneer for UK fundraising events
A successful charity auction needs more than a list of lots and a microphone. Addison works with organisers before the event, reads the room on the night and keeps bidding enjoyable, generous and moving at the right pace at fundraising events across the UK and internationally.
Addison can advise on the order and number of lots, guide prices, reserves and how the auction should fit into the evening. The aim is to protect the energy in the room and give every lot the best opportunity.
In practice
The auction itself
The room needs to feel confident, entertained and included. Addison combines clear bidding with humour and close attention to the audience, knowing when to push, when to pause and when to bring the hammer down.
Charity galas and fundraising dinners
Corporate and industry events
Awards evenings and benefit occasions
International events and large rooms
What matters
Part of the event, not a late addition
The strongest results come when the auction is planned as part of the evening. Addison is happy to speak with organisers, production teams and hosts in advance so the handovers, timings and fundraising moments work together.
