Ross Fotheringham receives his FIA (Scot) certificate from past president of the Institute of Auctioneers and Appraisers Scotland (IAAS) and executive chairman of United Auctions David Leggat.
Newly-qualified United Auctions auctioneer Ross Fotheringham has been awarded a Fellowship of the Institute of Auctioneers.
He was presented this week with his FIA (Scot) certificate from past president of the Institute of Auctioneers and Appraisers Scotland (IAAS) and executive chairman of United Auctions David Leggat.
Ross, 23, joined United Auctions aged 17 as a trainee auctioneer and completed the four-year, distance-learning degree from Harper Adams University in Shropshire under the mentorship of UA sales manager and auctioneer George Purves.
He covers the east of Scotland as a sheep and cattle auctioneer and has gained experience selling both commercial and pedigree stock, including at the Stirling Bull Sales in February.
Last year he led the UA team, Rostrum Rascals, to victory at RSABI’s Great Glen Rural Challenge.
Mr Leggat said: “We’re really pleased that Ross has achieved his Fellowship of the IAAS and it’s great to see the progress being made by him and his peers as they play an important role in the future of the business.”
