(Sydney based, Australia wide)
Jason is the Chief Auctioneer at Event Auctioneers, a company he created after identifying a gap in the market. He observed that many events hired the best MCs, caterers, and entertainers but often neglected to source an event Auctioneer. Jason realised that event planners simply didn't know where to go for quality and expertise, resulting in missed opportunities for record-breaking fundraising.
"Anyone can take a bid and count numbers, but it takes the instinct honed from experience to read an audience and know when to push and when to sell. An Auctioneer is a practical part of the evening's entertainment. They deliver a performance which can be measured by dollars, so when I get on stage, I make sure that it's fun, profitable, and succinct," Jason explains.
Jason's innate ability to build rapport with audiences and take that engagement to new heights allows him to drive the best outcome for his clients across Australasia.
Jason holds a degree in International Relations and Political Economy from UNSW. He is bilingual in Greek and English and is passionate about traveling, having visited over 60 countries.
When he's not on stage, Jason loves to spend time with his wife and two young sons.
“I was absolutely thrilled to have been a part of this extraordinary charity event that raised over a MILLION dollars. The dedication, passion, and meticulous planning that went into organising this event were truly evident in the incredible outcome. The atmosphere was electric, filled with an overwhelming sense of unity and purpose. Witnessing the generosity of attendees as they rallied behind the cause was truly inspiring. This event not only showcased the power of collective giving but also demonstrated the remarkable impact that can be achieved when a community comes together for a common goal. Thank you for allowing us to help you reach your goal and kudos to the organisers for orchestrating such a monumental success that will undoubtedly make a lasting difference.”
