Antiques expert and television personality Drew Pritchard, best known as the face of the hit TV series Salvage Hunters, is set to open a new antiques shop in the Cotswold town of Tetbury.
Pritchard, who has fronted Salvage Hunters for 14 years and appeared in more than 240 episodes, announced earlier this year that the show’s 20th series would be his last.
Since making his television debut in 2011, the show—produced by Curve Media and broadcast on Quest TV—has followed Drew across Britain as he scoured shops, fairs, and grand estates for unique antiques to restore and sell from his base in Conwy, North Wales.
Now, Pritchard is turning his focus to a new chapter: opening the Tetbury shop in Long Street and completing the restoration of his Georgian townhouse in Bath, Somerset. That project became the subject of the spin-off series Salvage Hunters: Georgian House Restoration.
Joseph Trinder, Auctioneer and Managing Director at Wotton Auction Rooms said: “I’m delighted to hear someone of Drew’s acumen is coming to set up a business in Tetbury amongst the vibrant community of dealerships already here. All of us at Wotton wish him well with his new venture.”
