Peter Young has been an auctioneer for over sixty years. Specialising in antiques and chattels for most of his career, he was initiated into the profession as an articled pupil to the leading and well-respected auctioneer Rupert Spencer. Although his main passion now lies with fine art, Peter gained his early experience through farm and livestock auctioneering where at weekly cattle markets and chattels auction sales his daily interactions with the rich tapestry of characters that he met, realised that a combination of auctions and antiques would provide the ingredients for an interesting and rewarding career. Qualifying as an Auctioneer, he became a partner in a leading firm of auctioneers before setting up his own business specialising in Fine Art and antiques. Gaining a wide-ranging field of expertise, working with a diverse group of people, including media personalities and members of the aristocracy.

Peter’s media experience also extends to regular appearances on both local and national television and radio. Recently, he hosted a guest spot on the BBC roadshow bus, identifying and valuing antiques. He has appeared on Look North and Calendar as well as numerous radio stations both local and national. Since retiring from the hectic world of auction sales, Peter retains a full diary having turned his talents to lecturing and after-dinner speaking. He currently heads the Three Counties Art & Antiques History Society which meets on the first Thursday of each month at Ye Olde Bell, the premier 18th century coaching house in Barnby Moor, Nottinghamshire. Cruise ship lecturing began in 2007, and he has been a regular guest speaker for Fred Olsen and Saga on their worldwide voyages, being a popular raconteur, giving lighthearted and fascinating insights into the world of Art, antiques and auction sales delivering his humorous tales to full audiences.
