Latest news from TV presenter and antiques expert Paul Martin
Celebrity antiques expert Paul Martin hopes a charity valuation day will take off – because the event is all about raising funds for Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
Paul – star of TV shows including Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip – is teaming up with premier auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son, for whom he is Head of Valuations, to stage the free event in the Guildhall in Salisbury on Saturday September 28 from 10.30am to 3pm.
People are being invited to look out their heirlooms, dust off their antiques and scour their lofts for potentially valuable items to bring to the community valuation day.
Paul and other experts will then use their extensive expertise to value the items for free. Any items that go on to be sold through Devizes-based Henry Aldridge & Son will benefit Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
Paul, who is an ambassador for Wiltshire Air Ambulance, said: “I’ve been an ambassador for this amazing charity for some time – it’s a service we hope we’ll never need yet we want it to be there for anyone in our community at moments of crisis. The team need every penny possible to keep the air ambulance flying and I’m proud to be able to support them at this event with my colleagues at Henry Aldridge & Son.”
Paul has been a TV presenter and expert for more than 20 years on programmes including the Antiques Road Trip, Flog It!, Countryfile and many more. He has a new series, Paul Martin’s Auction Showdown, going live on Channel 5 this year.
