After a 12-month term as vice president, Trevor Palethorpe, joint head of Business & Property, has been elected as president by NAVA, a division of Propertymark.

Trevor says he aims to guide the organisation in re-engaging with its members and hopes to encourage the next generation of auctioneers.

He said: “I genuinely love the profession which I’ve been part of now for over 25 years, so to be elected President of NAVA Propertymark is really a great honour. I grew up in auctions and have amassed experience that spans business assets through to property and fine art, plus everything in between. I’m looking forward to sharing this knowledge and experience with other colleagues and industry professionals.”
