The company is seen as a trusted business partner attracting new consignors at each sale… I was also impressed with the management structure and being a privately-owned business there is real sense of family, with all of its employees working as a cohesive team and all members having a real ‘can do’ attitude.

Euro Auctions’ last Dubai sale was on June 28^th. Its next sale will be at its partner company in Florida, USA on September 2^nd, followed by its European Online Multi-Location sale on September 16^th.
