Company history
Mander Auctioneers was established in the 1970s, previously trading as Dyson and Son in Clare, Suffolk. James and Sarah Mander took over the business in 2006, with James having worked for decades in both local and international auction houses, including Sworders and Bonhams.​
​In 2013 the auction moved to a four acre site at Newton on the outskirts of Sudbury, Suffolk, which has over 7,000 square feet of showrooms over two floors and on-site parking. Being at this saleroom has helped the business grow significantly with the introduction of specialist fine art and antiques auctions.​
In 2024 Dylan Mander opened an additional saleroom in a medieval church in the centre of Norwich, Norfolk, having worked as an auctioneer for several years at Cheffins in Cambridge, Lacy Scott & Knight in Bury St Edmunds and the family business.
Mander Auctions conducts regular auctions in both Norwich and Sudbury, with high quality items sourced primarily from estates throughout East Anglia. These sales include paintings, jewellery, antiques, gold, silver, clocks, wristwatches, modern design, furniture, decorative arts, medals, militaria, coins, toys, models, rare books, maps, glassware, ceramics, garden items, vehicles and much more.
All auctions are conducted live online, with bidders throughout the UK, Europe and America.
Covering the whole of East Anglia, Mander Auctioneers aims to offer professional service to both the vendor and the buyer, with the aim of making buying and selling at auction a pleasurable experience.
