Peter Francis was originally part of John Francis, a mixed discipline firm founded in the late 19th century. It was subsequently sold in 1989 to a large British Institution (the Halifax Building Society). Within three years of this sale the auction business was acquired back by a partnership led by Captain Peter Francis, a third-generation member of the founding family. This firm was incorporated in 2007 and continued to trade as Peter Francis Auctioneers Ltd.
