Apollo Auctions is proud to announce the addition of another key figure in its continued expansion, welcoming veteran auctioneer Charlie Powell to the Sydney team. With more than 20 years of experience under his belt and as a former REINSW Auctioneer of the year and AUSTROS finalist, Powell’s appointment solidifies Apollo’s strategic growth within NSW.
Charlie brings with him an enviable track record, having called thousands of auctions across Sydney’s Inner West, Lower North Shore and Eastern Suburbs. Known for his down-to-earth approach and ability to consistently deliver above market results, he is widely respected by agents and vendors alike. One agent summed it up best: “Every time I auction with Charlie, it’s like winning the Grand Final.”
Charlie’s arrival comes on the back of a fast-moving month for Apollo in NSW, with Head of Auctions Ricky Briggs powering forward to expand the brand throughout Sydney. Since joining Apollo earlier this year, Ricky has quickly built momentum; onboarding leading agencies, expanding auction volumes and building a reputation for professionalism, performance, and people-first service.
“We’re not here to blend in,” said Briggs. “We’re here to elevate the auction experience in Sydney. Adding someone of Charlie’s calibre, with his quality of experience and energy, is a massive win – not just for Apollo, but for every agent and seller looking for a competitive edge.”
Charlie echoed the sentiment. “What I love about Apollo is the culture. There’s energy, there’s quality, and there’s a clear commitment to doing things better. I’m excited to be part of that.”
Apollo Auctions Director Justin Nickerson said Powell’s arrival is a clear signal of what’s to come. “Charlie’s depth of experience and ability to consistently deliver premium outcomes aligns perfectly with Apollo’s commitment to being simply, world class in everything it does,” he said.
As Apollo continues to expand in Sydney, Charlie’s addition reflects the group’s commitment to building a high-performance team in all markets across Australasia.
