Client Testimonials

"I worked with Sophie & Neil for a fundraising event in Nov 24. They were consummate professionals throughout. We received a great service before, during and after the event. Sophie was calm, flexible and incredibly helpful, even adding a final auction item to the website hours before the event! Receiving a prompt breakdown of totals the following day was very helpful in calculating our final total for event comms. Look forward to working with them again."

"Thanks again for a great event service at ‘Back to the Floor’ last week. As always your display looked fab and attracted plenty of interest. The bidding seemed to run seamlessly and thank you for following up on outstanding payments over the past few days. The bid slip system along with your product range and event management have all combined to deliver an excellent way to maximise our fundraising on the night. We look forward to working with you again on the Big Fat Quiz and our Polo event later this year."

"With so many elements to such a complicated event it was reassuring to know that we were working with Neil and his team to co-ordinate the technology, brochures and audio visual requirements. The excellent choice of auction lots available from their catalogue also helped us complete our auction offering with something to tempt most of our guests. The interaction with our guests by their team on the night was professional, courteous and efficient and after the event processes were completed promptly and accurately, with our guests delighted with the Auction Direct provided lot items. We look forward to working with Neil, Sophie and the team in the future."

"I booked Auction Direct for a Charity Ball in Hertfordshire in January 2024. Neil and team were fantastic! Everything was sorted with no stress. They managed the auction on the evening and kept me updated on progress. Following the Ball, they sent me a spreadsheet detailing profits and where they were with receipt of payments. Once all monies had been received, they transferred me the funds raised!Will definitely book again."
