About Us

Wilfords started off business producing hand crafted timber products. In 1934 the then owner, H. Wilford, decided to sell the produced items by auction on a Thursday afternoon when it was "half day closing" in Wellingborough.

Since then Wilfords has become an institution of the local community, and continues to hold auctions every other Thursday, and remains a family business.
