Paul Fosh
Managing Director & Auctioneer
paul@paulfoshauctions.com
about Paul Fosh
As head honcho, Paul is always in demand and after 30 years in the auction business, few can match his knowledge and experience. Paul started his career in 1987 working for independent chain Hartnell Taylor Cook which was later bought out by Halifax. The corporate world ultimately wasn’t where Paul wanted to spend his time but he was grateful the experience he gained in those years. Paul is ultra-competitive which has given him the drive to push forward both in business and with his extreme ultra-marathon events. You have to be pretty strong-minded to complete 350 miles in freezing Artic conditions, and a little barmy no doubt!

Sian loves yoga and gardening and lives with her husband and her growing number of cats.
