Ritchie Bros will mark its 50-year milestone in Las Vegas next week while conducting its first unreserved auction at its new Las Vegas, NV auction site March 13-14, combined with an auction in nearby Henderson, NV on March 15, 2008. At the Las Vegas site on March 13, Ritchie Bros. CEO Peter Blake will present Dave Ritchie, one of the founders of Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, with a gold 50-year anniversary pin during a mid-morning ceremony in front of the auction crowd.
The auction and ceremony will take place the same time as ConExpo, the western hemisphere’s premier construction exhibition, held in Las Vegas, March 11-15, 2008.
“Conducting the first auction at our new Las Vegas regional auction unit at the same time as ConExpo and recognizing Dave Ritchie’s accomplishments in the construction industry make it an historic day for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers and our thousands of customers around the world,” said Jim Rotlisberger, Regional Manager for Ritchie Bros.
