| Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Opens New Facilities in Canada and the US
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/16/07 -- Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (TSX: RBA)(NYSE: RBA), the world's largest auctioneer of industrial equipment, announces the results of two large unreserved auctions held last week. The largest was a two-day grand opening auction at the Company's new Columbus, Ohio auction facility, with buyers purchasing over US$29 million in gross auction sales. The other large auction held last week was at the Company's Saskatoon, Saskatchewan site. The Company held its auction in a newly built auction facility there, and believes it was Canada's largest-ever unreserved agricultural auction, with more than CA$14 million (over US$12 million) worth of agricultural equipment and real estate sold. "The strength of these results demonstrates that our growth strategy is working," said Peter Blake, Chief Executive Officer of Ritchie Bros.
Frisky Lamb puts Gloucester top
Besides bidding farewell to the stand, the Kingsholm faithful said their farewells to Jake Boer, Peter Richards and Adam Eustace. Boer, Gloucester’s South African flanker, is returning home at the end of the season to pursue outside business interests, while Richards will join London Irish next season and Eustace has signed for Llanelli Scarlets. Richards has been off the booze in a bid to boost his England prospects, and could be the only one of the trio not nursing a hangover this morning. Newcastle’s headaches began yesterday morning, when they woke at their Gloucester hotel to find that the kitbag containing all 30 pairs of the team’s shorts had been stolen. It hardly ranked alongside Pickles the dog sniffing out the Jules Rimet trophy in 1966, but the Falcons were still grateful to the local schoolboy who discovered them in his back garden — and his dad who drove them to the ground in time to spare the players’ blushes.
