As a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, I have more than 30 years experience in museums and auction houses, working as a senior picture specialist for Phillips in London and as regional director for Bonhams.

Whether you need a valuation for insurance or probate, you are considering downsizing, family asset disposal or maybe planning an individual bequest or gift, I can give you constructive, practical advice, based on the knowledge and experience I have gained over many years.  

I can help you find the best way of reducing a valued collection by seeking out suitable auction houses and dealers on your behalf, and I will ensure that you get first-class service from anyone you choose to buy or sell with.

In addition, I offer probate and asset advice to professional solicitors and banks and a complete house clearance service.
