About Us
A third generation family business, Tennants is a successful firm of auctioneers and valuers based in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, with offices in Harrogate and Oakham, Rutland and regional representatives throughout the UK.
Tennants is run by brothers Rodney and John Tennant who, in 1991, moved from their premises in Middleham to their newly commissioned large purpose-built auction centre in Leyburn, North Yorkshire. This impressive building comprises three auction halls, a large restaurant seating 150 people and parking for up to 600 cars. Throughout the year it is the venue for important major International catalogue sales, specialist collector's items, book, stamp and coin sales plus the weekly sale of Antiques and Decorative items from local estates.
The company was established by Rodney and John Tennant’s grandfather over 100 years ago and today it continues to successfully serve both vendors and buyers with particular attention given to personal service. Tennants employs 35 staff and turnover for 2006 was £8.2 million.
'Winner of the BACA Award for Best Regional Auction House in 2001 and Auctioneer of the Year 2002
The purpose-built Auction Centre in Leyburn is situated in rolling Yorkshire countryside, halfway between Edinburgh and London, and is easily accessible from both the A1 and the M6 motorway.'
We also have a showroom and office in the spa town of Harrogate.
Confidential visits can be made by appointment with any of our specialists in the privacy of your home if you are unable to visit the Auction Centre, or if your collections are large or extensive. In addition, our valuers are available 9.00 am to 5.00 pm every weekday to appraise items for inclusion in our forthcoming sales.
