Bayles Auctions

General information

Eileen McCarthy started out producing catalogues for a number of auction houses across the UK under the company name Four Corners Publishing. With the advent of the internet, Eileen launched a supplementary website to give added value to her existing clients; using the files she had already typeset ready for printing it made perfect sense to publish these online to a much wider audience. News of the website spread fast among the auction community, and after receiving numerous phone-calls from potential clients requesting to be featured on this pioneering auction-portal, UKauctioneers.com was born.

Already possessing experience of the auction world from her time working at Lots Road Auction in her 20’s, Eileen identified the needs of both auctioneers and antique collectors and was able to harness this knowledge to grow the fledgling UKauctioneers brand into the business it is today. A few of the original print clients still remain, and the team at UKauctioneers.com still produce high quality printed materials in the form of auction catalogues, bidding forms, leaflets and other traditional paper materials used widely in auction houses today.

In February 2014 UKauctioneers were able to add another string to their bow and developed their own complete Live Bidding system.

With the launch of the brand new fully optimised website in May 2014 UKauctioneers are proud to offer a comprehensive range of services to all users. We continue to strive to be the best auction portal on the market, offering a great value solution for auction houses and collectors alike, with the added bonus of a personal touch.
