About us
ATG enables bidders from 165 countries to access an underexplored world of secondary goods which have been curated by over 3,900 trusted auctioneer experts.
Creating a virtuous circle that benefits both auctioneers and bidders.
ATG is an aggregator in the large and fragmented auction industry. We simplify and integrate multiple parts of the online auction process, from the cataloguing of items to marketing, auction hosting, bidding and most recently payment solutions. In doing so, we enable auctioneers to become genuine online businesses in a cost-efficient way.
The Industrial & Commercial market covers used equipment, machinery and commercial vehicles from industries such as manufacturing (including plastic moulding, metalworking, woodworking, food and beverage production), laboratories and pharmaceuticals, warehousing, construction, agriculture and real estate. It also includes surplus stock of consumer goods and retail returns, from all areas of retail (including apparel, electronics, homewares, furniture)
The Art & Antiques market covers several different categories, including watches and jewellery, furniture, fine art, decorative art, collectables (e.g.sporting memorabilia, antiquarian books, stamps and coins, vintage toys), vintage fashion and classic cars.

Our marketplaces
We operate leading secondary-goods marketplaces and proprietary auction platform technology, seamlessly connecting bidders from around the world to trusted auctioneers and other sellers across two large markets: Industrial & Commercial; and Art & Antiques.
We have been supporting the auction industry since 1971. Over the last 50 years, we have expanded into new industry verticals and new geographies, through launching new marketplaces and acquiring complementary platforms. Being a trusted partner and voice for the industry remains our driving goal, every day.
Our purpose is to unlock the value of the secondary goods market and accelerate the growth of the circular economy.
ATG executes against six strategic drivers to unlock the discovery and value of millions of items.
ATG’s Executive Leadership team benefits from a unique blend of deep auction industry experience combined with deep technology and e-commerce experience.
