The parent company of Wright Marshall Fine Art Auctioneers is in administration and a search for a new owner is under way, writes Laura Chesters.
The fine art arm of the firm continues to trade while a buyer is sought alongside the property and professional services divisions. The agricultural auction mart in Cheshire has closed.
The company Wright Marshall Limited went into administration on June 26. It employed a total of 129 people across eight sites in Cheshire and Derbyshire, with 26 staff in the fine art auction houses in Knutsford and Beeston.
