uction Alliance, southern Africa’s leading auction group, has revolutionised the local auction industry and created a Superbrand in the process. In its two decades of leading and stimulating markets, the company has been at the forefront of the South African property auction industry and has grown into the country’s largest auction house. The company operates in five independent, yet integrated, business units and has two decades of experience in identifying the value of a given asset and monetising it by means of the auction mechanism. It is an honour to be associated with the Top500 Companies magazine as first in the auction sector. We have won a string of awards, in marketing, HR, business strategy, and last year we attained Superbrand status, reflecting our dominant position in the auction industry. The words ‘team’, ‘innovation’, ‘vision’, ‘enthusiasm’, ‘tenacity’ and ‘positive attitude’ are prevalent when companies are considered for the Top500 Awards. These words have proved to be a winning formula for the Alliance Blues, enabling the company to be ahead of the game at all times. Companies only qualify for a listing in the Top500 if they meet or surpass the strict and wide performance criteria established by the Topco Media Research Department and we take great pride in being recognised as the number one auction house in the country. With almost 20 years of industry experience under our belt, we believe that our in-depth knowledge of the specific asset and property classes gives our group a competitive advantage. Our clients maintain loyal relationships with us and together we build long-term wealth. As auction pioneers we define our own space and constantly strive to find superior solutions for our clients. We are constantly on the lookout for opportunities and we stress creativity, innovation and determination to achieve distinction in all we do. Our services, which include property valuation and property auctions, are of the highest standard, achieved through our uncompromising drive towards excellence and professionalism. We believe that Topco shares these values, which is why we are proud to be associated with them. The team at Topco are dynamic and inspired to be the best they can be. It is clear that successful Top500 Companies understand the value of their employees - this is evident at Auction Alliance where team members regard the company as a market dominator. Our staff have found a place where they can advance their careers speedily and are stakeholders who impact where the organisation goes and how it gets there. Our core values are resolute and with an innovative, dynamic and entrepreneurial spirit we build our business one relationship at a time. Topco have shown that they also possess these values and they too are seen as market leaders. Integrity and honesty are at the heart of both businesses and our employees. Auction Alliance welcomes the success and development of Top500 Companies and is proud to be included in this enviable stable of winning organisations.
