Cassillis House Sale July 2009
Cassillis Estate
Dear Paul
It is with great pleasure that I write to thank you for conducting the contents sale of Cassillis in such a professional and efficient manner. From the moment you were given, at short notice, the go ahead to clear the house of the sale contents your skilled removals team made light work of a mammoth task. Seven lorry loads carefully logged, wrapped and loaded and then transported from Ayrshire to Edinburgh, all in two days.
The presentation of the six hundred of so lots both in the saleroom and in the catalogue proved very successful and I was delighted with the effort you went to in including such detailed family history as a preface to the sale items in the catalogue.
Your personal advice on how to deal with some of the special items to maximise their potential proved invaluable with some very rewarding prices being achieved.
On behalf of myself, my sister and the rest of the family I would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work
Kindest Regards
Lord David Kennedy
