Tony Fountain
Auctions have been central to our most sacred of duties , to create competition for our vendors and achieve the best results for them .
Tony had a big impact on the progress of Ray White Rural and Livestock in the early 2000s particularly in Central Queensland .
Our commitment to auctions has been one of the most important reasons why we have become market leaders throughout Australia and New Zealand .
He was the Principal of Ray White Rural ( Rockhampton ) and was instrumental in setting up our websites and developing our online marketing experience .
For those who were not lucky enough to know Tony , he was a relentless auctioneer . Ray White Chairman Brian White AO described him as a “ legend ”.
Tony was one of the greatest auctioneers in Australia and we were fortunate to have had his services Australia-wide .
He practised as an agent for 52 years and held several positions within the group , including National Chief Auctioneer .
Over his career , Tony conducted more than 35,000 auctions across Australia , New Zealand and Indonesia . He passed away in 2018 , aged 72 .
Tony ’ s great love of rural Australia is shown by his never ending support of the Shorthorn and Santa cattle breeds as well as the Australian Quarter and Stock Horse Societies .
Tony could be summed up in his slogan “ have gavel will travel ”. We are so proud of our auction squad .
