Auction House last week launched a Manchester auction at the Mercure Manchester Norton Grange Hotel.

Ryder & Dutton will operate across Greater Manchester, North Derbyshire and West Yorkshire under the Auction House brand.

Ryder & Dutton director Geoff Maybank said: “Since taking on the Auction House licence we have been overwhelmed by the level of interest.

“We cover a large area in the North West and we’re now discovering a whole range of properties within that patch that are absolutely right for auction.”
