Bonhams Appoints New Heads of UK and European Cars Departments
The Facts
Bonhams has announced key appointments to strengthen its Cars Department leadership, naming Michael Squire as Head of Europe and Robert Glover as Head of the UK. The appointments, announced on March 26, 2026, follow the confirmation earlier in March that Julie David had joined as Global Managing Director of the Bonhams Car, Motorcycle and Automobilia department. Tim Schofield, previously Head of UK, has moved to a new role as Head of UK Business Development, focusing on client relationships and private collections. All four will represent Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 9–12, 2026.
The Signal
The appointments signal Bonhams' effort to strengthen its market position in the collector car auction sector, which has seen increased competition from rival houses. Michael Squire and Robert Glover bring deep client networks and consignment experience from prior roles at other auction houses, while Tim Schofield's new business development role aims to leverage existing relationships. The moves suggest Bonhams is prioritizing specialist expertise and direct client access to secure high-value consignments, a key driver in the classic car market.
