Leakey’s Auctioneers, one of the biggest in the country, has changed its trading name to Phillips International Auctioneers.
The firm said the change will help expand its market share by collaborating with international and regional auctioneers, and also leverage on online auctions in line with shifting business models.
A notice by its chief executive George Muiruri published in local dailies, however, indicated the business would retain its headquarters in Kileleshwa, Nairobi with regional sub-offices across the country.
“I shall continue carrying on business as an auctioneer, pursuant to the Auctioneers Act,” he said.
