Ed developed an interest in antiques and collectibles from an early age, growing up with parents who bought and sold at antiques fairs and who specialised in the Arts and Crafts Movement and Decorative Textiles and Embroidery.

Running an independent antiques business since 2014, Ed previously worked as a valuer at Louis Taylor’s and Potteries Auctions in Staffordshire. Ed specialises in Veteran and Vintage Bicycles, Advertising Collectibles and Vintage and Antique Toys.

Ed joined the Leighton Hall Auctions team in 2022 as a Valuer and Auction Consultant.

Responsibilities include attending valuation days, valuing and consigning items and carrying out home visits where advice can be given as to which items may be suitable for one our specialist sales.

Ed enjoys meeting different people through his work and hearing their stories whilst unearthing the history and sentimental value of interesting and unusual items.

One of the most enjoyable work experiences of 2025 for Ed, was consigning and selling a nineteenth century doll for an unexpectantly large sum. The sale, which saw the doll finding a new home in Italy, allowed a valued vendor to afford some much needed home improvements. Also, procuring a stunning silver donkey from a vendor who bought the piece to commemorate their own donkeys, which went on to a buyer who had intended on passing it on, but fell in love with the donkey and couldn't part with it. Witnessing the donkey go full circle was especially satisfying. 

Outside of work Ed enjoys spending time exploring the UK with wife Hannah, son Findlay and dog, Flo, (RIP Wilson) in their VW T4 camper van Bilbo.
