Bonhams Appoints Michael Squire as Head of Europe, Robert Glover as Head of UK in Cars Department Reshuffle
The Facts
Bonhams announced key appointments to its Cars Department leadership on March 18, 2026, naming Michael Squire as Head of Europe and Robert Glover as Head of UK. Both will report to Julie David, who joined the company as Global Managing Director of the Cars, Motorcycle and Automobilia department in March. Tim Schofield, former Head of UK, transitions to Head of UK Business Development, focusing on client relationships and private collections. The appointments aim to strengthen the auction house's market positioning in the collector car sector.
The Signal
The reshuffle signals Bonhams' strategic push to compete aggressively for top-tier consignments in the classic and collector car market, where client relationships and specialized expertise are paramount. By recruiting Squire from a competitor and bringing back Glover—who previously worked at Bonhams—the company is consolidating leadership with deep sector knowledge. Collectors and dealers should note that all four executives will be present at the Bonhams pavilion during the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 9-12, a key gathering for the market.
