Loss of a legend within our auctioneering industry, David Thomlinson (aka DT)

We are deeply saddened with the news of the loss of a legend within our auctioneering industry, David Thomlinson (aka DT), who was sadly taken under tragic circumstances.

He will be remembered for his outstanding dedication to the livestock auctioneering world, within H&H, throughout the UK and across the world.

Fellow auctioneers have paid heartfelt tributes to David, over the last few hours, which has shown the impact he has made within the livestock auctioneering business. He had a great attribute to develop and mentor the next generation of auctioneers and today we see and hear some of his skills which have been passed on to them to allow them to become the great people they are today standing in the rostrum.

His love and dedication of the auctioneering business started 57 years ago and his involvement in being able to develop the highly respected pedigree auction ring at Borderway which is recognised throughout the country by many breeders. He will be a great miss to his family and all the H&H team, but his hard work over the years will live on through the next generation for years to come. You will always be remembered DT.

The British Blonde Society would like to express it condolences with The Thomlinson Family circle.
