Andrew has spent his entire career in property starting at Lalonde Bros & Parham in 1968. He is now, undoubtedly, one of the most respected and well known estate agents and auctioneers in the region. Practising mainly in the residential market through changing economic times he has also witnessed the phenomenal expansion and development of Bristol into one of the UK’s most desirable and vibrant cities. His knowledge, therefore, of all the factors influencing the west country market is invaluable to Hollis Morgan, now well established as one of the fastest growing estate agencies and the region’s largest auctioneers.
Throughout his career he has been in huge demand as a charity auctioneer bringing humour and fund raising skills to a plethora of social events. These events have taken him from “Highgrove” to The British Embassy in Rome and a myriad of places in between raising thousands of pounds. For this extraordinary achievement he was awarded the MBE in The Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2013.
Apart from the business life of Bristol he has also enjoyed being involved in many charities and served in different capacities on many committees. He also enjoys the rich cultural life offered in the city.
In October 2025, following 15 satisfying and successful years in which Andrew was instrumental in building Hollis Morgan into one of the most highly respected firms in the area, he stepped back from the day to business but became a consultant continuing to take a keen interest in the growth and prosperity of the firm. Andrew will now be developing further his interest in antiques and has established Andrew Morgan Fine Art Ltd and will trade in items that interest him. In addition he will continue to run a Crown, Church and Arts a non-profit making organisation arranging trips to historic properties and lectures etc. He will also continue to support local Bristol charities by continuing his free charity auction service.
