Chorley’s, has seen a large increase in turnover over the past two years and cemented their position as the Cotswold’s leading fine art auctioneers.
“Sophie has extensive experience as a business getter, valuer and relationship manager and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team.
Her business development experience will be invaluable as we plan Chorley’s strategic growth over the coming years,
particularly as we expand to cover a wider area and increase the already considerable number of consignments from Oxfordshire.”
