A Partnership Forged in Quality and Tradition
At Palace Auctions London, we believe that excellence is built on strong foundations—whether in the properties we bring to auction or the partnerships that sustain our team. For more than 40 years, one such partnership has been at the heart of our success: our collaboration with Owen Taylor & Sons, the renowned catering butchers from Leabrook’s, Derbyshire. Founded in 1922.
Owen Taylor & Sons is a family-owned business now led by third-generation Managing Director Richard Taylor. With over a century of butchery heritage and more than 480 years of collective experience among their expert team, Owen Taylor & Sons has become synonymous with quality, consistency, and local sourcing. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in every cut, every sausage, and every delivery—values that resonate deeply with the Palace Auctions ethos
