Joseph joined Heritage Auctions in February 2025 as a Junior Specialist in the Entertainment & Pop Culture department, bringing with him seven years of auction house experience across Sotheby’s, Bonhams, and Christie’s. During that time, he held Specialist and Cataloguer roles, working across a wide range of popular culture material spanning music, film, and television.

His work includes contributions to several high-profile auctions, such as the personal collection of Sir Michael Caine, the estate of Sir Roger Moore, and the guitar collection of Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green. Joseph’s expertise lies in culturally resonant material—props, costumes, concert posters, and original production artwork—that captures the public imagination and preserves iconic moments in entertainment history.

A passionate concertgoer with a deep love for rock, metal, and punk, Joseph pairs rigorous research with thoughtful storytelling to present consignments in ways that connect emotionally and historically with collectors. He is committed to elevating each piece beyond its material value and reaching the widest audience possible through the auction format.

Since 2015, Sophie has been an avid numismatist. Starting off by casually collecting commemorative 50ps and £2 coins quickly evolved into establishing a collection featuring hundreds of coins from a variety of countries and periods of time.

After being unable to sit exams due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she pursued higher education by completing the American Numismatic Association's Diploma Program, achieving Honours and High Honours in most of her exams.

Undertaking a jewelry-making & designing course for the following year allowed her to pursue her creative side whilst also expanding her knowledge of precious metals and hallmarks. Her skills in computer-aided design meant that her design for a commemorative staff pin was chosen to be made in silver, and one gold-plated pin was presented by Sophie directly to King Charles III when they met during his visit to The Goldsmiths' Centre in November 2022.

Looking to expand her knowledge in numismatics wherever she can, Sophie was the first international student to attend Witter Coin University in San Francisco - a week-long coin course dedicated to help educate young numismatists and taught by some of the top people in the industry.
