What people say about Charlie
I have been very lucky to work with many wonderful people, auction houses, charities, and other organisations, in the UK and around the world. Many of them have been kind enough to let me know their thoughts… some of which are highlighted below.
“The evening was a resounding success , raising £1.5 million for disabled children in the UK and we simply could not have achieved this without your tremendous efforts on the night.”
“You were absolutely brilliant! Thank you so very much — I couldn’t have asked for a more successful evening, and all that you did for us was a HUGE part of that… you’ve spoilt me for anyone else now.”
“Thank you very much indeed for putting on such a wonderful auction here in the Museum. It was a truly memorable evening and your perfectly pitched performance was a central part in making it so.”
“I’m never quite sure how you keep up your amazing energy levels Charlie, however I’m so glad that you do because without you we wouldn’t have been able to raise even half as much money as we did.”
“[…] we had a charity auction, run by Charlie Ross, unquestionably the best charity auctioneer I have ever come across.”
“Charlie… you are part of the Shooting Star family and we know that, without you, our fundraising would suffer terribly.”
“You’re an absolute genius and we cannot find the words to thank you for your most contagious energy and for inspiring our guests to bid so generously.”
“You played a key role in the evening and did a fantastic job auctioning the lots in a way that both kept us all entertained and secured more funds than expected.”
“You were absolutely phenomenal and made a real difference to the amount we raised on the evening. Your energy and exuberance is fantastic to watch and makes any auction not only raise a staggering amount but is also extremely entertaining for all our guests.”
“The auction skills of Charlie Ross are rivalled by no-one. His ability to warm up a room and make auction participants feel right at home is what continues to draw crowds, get more bidding, and result in his many world record sales.
“We broke all fundraising records when one thousand rowdy construction executives […] were encouraged into spontaneous generosity by an auctioneering masterclass delivered by Charlie Ross.”
“Without doubt the finest auctioneer I have ever seen in action is Mr Charlie Ross. Charlie’s vast experience and ease on the rostrum, combined with his charm and quick wit, enable him to engage and keep total control of a room that is sometimes as large as two thousand people.”
“Any auction prides itself on being somewhat of a show. When Charlie Ross is auctioning, he is the show.”
