Paul Fosh said:

“With record sales and letting figures month on month we're delighted to have been able to attract such quality and proven, high-calibre, people to fill key roles at Paul Fosh Auctions. Our online property sales  have gone through the roof over the past 18 months and the lettings business is following suit. We are now occupying another floor in our headquarters building in Lower Dock Street, Newport, for our new staff and to cope with our continued expansion.

“Our online platform has been a phenomenal success for the business. Whereas I was initially sceptical, now I absolutely love it. It ‘s been a great achievement for the business. The buzz from the auction room is just as strong now online, if not more so, with our 48 hour online auctions.

“We are constantly working with new technologies to allow us to be as flexible as possible working from home but being able to work as if we were all in the same office. We will continue to work this way, a mix of home and office-based working and I look forward with excitement to the next 20 years.”
