Meet the team

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!

about Oliver Griffiths

With over twenty years of experience in the property industry, Oliver Griffiths brings a wealth of expertise to the role of Head of Auctions.

Starting his career at Taylors Countrywide, Oliver quickly rose through the ranks, managing two offices in Cardiff, before taking the helm at Taylors flagship office in Bristol. Olivers leadership and market insight helped drive significant growth and success within the company.

Building on this experience, he spent eight years with the prestigious high-end brand Jackson Stops in Richmond Upon Thames, where he specialised in the prime property market, handling luxury homes and providing expert advice to discerning clients.

Following this Oliver took on a new challenge, setting up and running his own real estate business, gaining valuable entrepreneurial experience, and a deep understanding of the property sector from an independent perspective.

In September 2024, Oliver joined Paul Fosh Auctions as Head of Department, bringing his extensive knowledge of the market, strategic vision, and experience of managing big teams to the auction sector. His focus is on driving growth, innovation, and delivering exceptional results for clients.
