Cheffins has strengthened its market-leading machinery department with the promotion of Charles Wadsley from Associate to Director.
Charles Wadsley joined Cheffins in May 2021, having previously worked for Strutt & Parker as a farm agent. Mr Wadsley is a qualified Rural Chartered Surveyor and Agricultural Valuer and is from a farming family in North Cambridgeshire. He primarily focusses on machinery valuation work and both on site and vintage sales, working alongside Oliver Godfrey and Bill King.
Oliver Godfrey, Head of the Machinery Department at Cheffins comments: “Since joining the team in 2021, Charles has been instrumental in the delivery of many of our multi-million pound on site sales. His knowledge of the market and second-hand machinery has quickly developed, as has his understanding of the legwork which goes into putting together and delivering a sale. He is now an accomplished auctioneer, and quite comfortable on the rostrum, which has proved invaluable at several sales in recent months. We are pleased to be able to announce his promotion and will look forward to watching him continue to flourish within the department.”
Charles Wadsley comments: “I have been involved in a wide range of modern and vintage auctions across the UK in the past couple of years at Cheffins, and have now built a strong book of contacts within the market. With prices still increasing for the best in class of second hand machinery, coupled with the return of the export market, 2023 looks to be another busy year for Cheffins, both in terms of on site sales and our regular auctions at the Sutton saleground.”
