Auctioneers are gearing up to win business and take on staff in the wake of the closure of Christie’s South Kensington later this year.
In March Christie’s announced it is reviewing the future of its South Kensington premises to “offer a single destination to collectors in London”. Around 250 jobs are at risk across the entire company as part of the consolidation which also includes the closure of its Amsterdam base.
