Rory Daly, CEO at SDL Auctions, took time off from his job last year after he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Thankfully Rory has made a full recovery and has now been given the all clear to return to work - and what better day to return to his passion than on Valentine’s Day!
The first SDL Auctions Bigwood auction of the year is set to take place this Thursday, 14 February, at Villa Park football ground and with a catalogue totalling 136 lots, there’s likely to be plenty of love in the air. Even the BBC One 'Homes under the Hammer' film crew are coming along to play property matchmaker.
Rory will now be refocusing his time on SDL Auctions’ corporate relationships across the West Midlands and the rest of the UK, as well as taking to the rostrum as lead auctioneer for the 2019 calendar of 40 room auction sales alongside Graham Penny and NAVA Propertymark member Andrew Parker.
Rory has more than 30 years’ experience as an auctioneer in the property sector and was CEO of CPBigwood prior to its acquisition by the SDL Group in 2015. SDL Group then acquired Graham Penny Auctions the following year and created SDL Auctions. Over his career, Rory has raised over £1.5 million via regular charity auctions and his other passion is West Bromwich Albion FC where he is a season ticket holder.
