It wasn’t so much a Road to Damascus moment for Edward Crichton but more the road back to Bury St Edmunds, a car journey that provided the Lacy Scott & Knight auctioneer with much-needed think time.
That was when he realised something was amiss at the Suffolk saleroom. Specifically, something was not quite right about the auction house’s premises: space. Lack of.
His mid-drive inspiration caused Crichton to get an expansion plan into gear at LSK and it has just launched the improved facilities: essentially, a 2500sq ft glass box at a cost of about £350,000 which should make it far easier to do business.
