AUCTION POSTPONED

Hello. The Coronavirus outbreak has meant that people the world over are doing all they can to adapt, albeit temporarily, to a new way of living. The situation has led to new regulations that every one of us must abide by for the safety and well-being of ourselves, our families and friends.

As a consequence, Arthur Johnson’s must ask that no-one travels to our cattle market site. Our auction rooms and market will not be open to the public until further notice.

We will, of course, reopen as soon as the government confirms that it is safe to do so. We have auctions at the ready once the time comes.

The exciting news is that we’ll be broadcasting all our sales in future. This will be particularly important when we open up again because it is likely that we will all still have to take precautions about social distancing for some time to come. Bidding on the new platform will be totally free of charge while these rules are in place.

Additionally, you are most welcome to contact us via email or social media with any questions or concerns you may have.

I hope that, at the end of all this, the world will be a kinder one. It’s been wonderful to see hundreds of thousands of volunteers coming forward to offer help to others and I think that we all feel humbled by the extraordinary selflessness shown by the doctors, nurses and other NHS workers, care home staff and indeed all frontline workers.

I am very much aware that the auctions and street market we run form not only a business but a social hub where friends meet on a Friday and Saturday. It’s one of Nottingham’s great traditions. When coronavirus has been beaten, as it will be, that social contact will be more important than ever.

We are grateful for your patience, care and understanding. On behalf of us all here at Arthur Johnson’s, I give my heartfelt thanks for the loyalty and many kind messages from clients. We look forward to welcoming you back here soon.

In the meanwhile, please take care of each other and stay safe and well,

Best wishes from us all.
