We're delighted to welcome Izzie Balmer to RWB Auctions as our new consultant valuer.

Izzie is well known to TV audiences from the BBC's Antiques Road Trip, Bargain Hunt and The Travelling Auctioneers. She's a qualified gemmologist, holding FGA and DGA diplomas from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, with more than a decade in the auction world.

Jewellery is her speciality!... Rings, brooches, old necklaces, that box of bits at the back of a drawer. Izzie loves finding the story behind a piece, and she's very good at spotting when something is worth far more than its owner realised.

Izzie will be at our Royal Wootton Bassett saleroom every Monday, and our valuations are free with no appointment needed. Just bring your items in between 9:30am and 4:30pm.

Gareth Wasp, our Head Auctioneer, said: "We got to know Izzie when she visited us for her TV work, and we're really pleased she's joining us. She brings brilliant expertise and real energy to the team."

If you've got jewellery tucked away at home and you've always wondered what it is, Monday is the day to find out.

We were incredibly proud to sponsor the Royal Wootton Bassett Triathlon in support of the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance.

Having the opportunity to tour the base and see firsthand the incredible work the team does was a truly inspiring experience. Seeing the dedication, skill, and commitment that goes into providing this life-saving service every single day gave us an even greater appreciation for the vital role they play in our local community.

At RWB Auctions, we believe in supporting organisations that make a real difference, and it was an honour to play a small part in such a worthwhile cause. We look forward to supporting many more community events in the future.

Thank you to the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance team for the warm welcome and for everything you do to save lives across our region.
