Her trademark landscapes and animal images (mostly farm animals) can be found on a range of products within local shops and garden centres.

Outside Robinson & Hall, Debbie enjoys her family, girls’ nights out/in, and, like Alex, she is a life-long Liverpool supporter.

That experience has enabled David to develop new relationships with an ever-increasing number of Partner Agents where his good nature, tenacity and vision for commercial opportunities has helped many initial sceptics to be won over to the benefits of having an auction provider.

Outside Robinson & Hall, David is another keen follower of sport, rugby in particular, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Alex Grant

Auction Office Manager

Alex joined Robinson & Hall in 2014 and quickly demonstrated his already considerable property experience, together with his ability to master challenging technology. Another key strength is his incredible memory of properties and buyers and sellers; there aren’t many he can’t recall from over the past 10 years.

Outside Robinson & Hall, Alex’s interests and passions are family, socialising with his friends, the occasional gym workout, sport in general and specifically following Liverpool Football Club.

Head of Auction Department

Charles joined Robinson & Hall in 2012 and has been instrumental in building the auction department into one of the most successful regional auction houses in the country.

Outside Robinson & Hall, Charles still enjoys travel, time with his family, and his other passion is motorcycles.

David Jones

After university in Cambridge, David joined Robinson & Hall as a youngster, his first full-time position training as a Chartered Surveyor and Agricultural Valuer under Michael Robinson, the great grandson of the firm’s founder. Four decades on, David is our Chairman, as well as our Auctioneer. His primary focus is executing the sale of strategic development land across the region, although he also finds time to review and check every legal pack, in addition to his appearances on the rostrum.

Outside Robinson & Hall, he regularly enjoys shooting, fishing and golf, with an annual pilgrimage to Henley Regatta with his old university rowing mates to cheer on the Light Blues.
