Adrian Higham on The Bidding Room

Meet Adrian Higham

Adrian or Adi is a dealer based in East Sussex.

The Bidding Room star discovered his passion for antiques after renovating and selling old signs at the age of 21.

His first big sell was a bike that he bought and sold for 10 times than its original price – and that’s when Adi decided to go full-time as an antiques expert.

He is one of eight expert dealers on the BBC series.

@TheBiddingRoom Great show would love to bring some stuff in.
