YORK AUCTION
CENTRE
A THRIVING HUB
OF BUSINESSES
DEDICATED TO
FARMING AND

Because the enterprising
and energetic Richard Tasker
and his talented team have
used all their considerable skill
and experience to develop the
Centre from a straightforward
Auction Mart into a thriving
business hub with many diverse
activities constantly going
on – and always more in the
pipeline.

Centre and for Yorkshire.

clients maximise the potential
of land, guide them through
complex planning processes
and solve any problems.
Graham Edwards has become
a household name in the region
as a long-established trailer

excellent personal service.
Other businesses with
plenty of expertise to offer
