Get to know Amber a little better!

Meet Amber…

Amber began her career in the auction world six years ago working for two years at Auction Fluency, an online bidding software company set up in 2001 by founder and managing director Richard Paul.
“I loved working in auctions right from day one!” says Amber, who later went on to work with Richard at ATG Media for a further three years.
“After a short spell working outside the industry, I was keen to get back into auctions. To be a part of the Auction News team and back working with Richard again, who taught me so much about online auctions, is like a dream come true for me.” Amber added.

Amber’s passion doesn’t stop at auctions, however, she also loves regular visits to the theatre, long walks in the woods with new puppy Rupert, hanging out with friends playing board games and pampering herself.
