Eddisons generated proceeds of nearly £7.4m (£7,358,000) at its three day December sale held in Manchester, Leeds and London.

This brings total proceeds from the 21 auctions Eddisons has staged this year to in excess of £60,000,000. The firm has offered over 1,000 lots and achieved an average success rate of 81%.

Tony Webber, Head of Auctions at Eddisons said: ‘The auction room has once again proved a popular place for buyers looking for a variety of investment opportunities and vendors looking to dispose of surplus stock quickly.

‘Market conditions have certainly improved since this time last year and we can look forward to the New Year with plenty of optimism.’
