The L & K Group Plc was formed in April 2005 when the long-standing businesses of The Kendal and District Auction Mart Plc merged with Lancaster Farmers’ Auction Co Limited.  The company owns both Lancaster and Kendal Auction Mart sites as well as some land and commercial investment properties in Kendal and surrounding area.  The company is owned by over 880 shareholders and employs over 60 staff (both full and part-time).  The company is an unlisted Public Limited Company.

Trading from the auction mart sites is conducted via two wholly-owned subsidiary companies, North West Auctions Limited - operating the two livestock markets, a farm advisory services business and Kendal Auction Rooms fine art and antiques auctioneers and valuers - and M B Hodgson and Son Limited, the rural surveyors and land agency division.   Please click on the logo links below for more information.
