Richard Winterton Auctioneers partners with Burton Albion to support community trust fundraising

RICHARD Winterton Auctioneers is partnering with Burton Albion to raise funds for the football club’s community trust.

We will offer free valuations at Burton Albion Community Trust’s Community Football Centre most weeks, beginning Tuesday, October 8.

The trust runs a range of programmes aimed at inspiring, engaging, and educating people of all ages across the region.

Representing Richard Winterton Auctioneers will be valuation experts Isabel Murtough and Erica Conroy.

Isabel, a Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, has over 20 years of experience in the antiques and auction industry and is a familiar face from TV shows such as Bargain Hunt, Flog It! and The Great Auction Showdown.

"We’re excited to work with Burton Albion Community Trust and Richard Winterton Auctioneers," said Isabel.

"Our expertise lies in jewellery and antiques, but sports are a big part of our family’s life, and we recognize the tremendous health and wellbeing benefits.

"BACT’s contribution to the local community is invaluable, and we’re proud to support their efforts."

Erica, with a background in property and property auctions, is passionate about building client relationships and delivering top-notch customer service.

"We’re looking forward to meeting wonderful people and valuing their cherished items at this fantastic venue," she added.

Katie Johnson, community manager at BACT, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership.

"We’re thrilled to collaborate with Richard Winterton Auctioneers and grateful for their support of our work," she said.

"We encourage anyone with items to be valued to visit the Burton Albion Community Football Centre for a free appraisal, knowing they are contributing to the trust's mission."

Valuations will be held from 11am until 1pm on Tuesdays at the Burton Albion Community Trust, Pirelli Stadium, Princess Way, Burton-on-Trent, DE13 0AR.

Half of the vendor’s commission on items sold at auction from these valuations will be donated to BACT.
