About Quinn's Auctions
The Full Story
Quinn's Auctions is a trusted family owned business that has been operating for over 70 years.
Established in 1953 and founded by Fred Finer, the Mayor of Hawera at the time, it was originally called Finers Mart. In the 1970's it became Quinn and Eades when Fred's son in law, Frank Eades and Jack Quinn bought the business. Tom Quinn, Jacks oldest son, who started in 1971 at the age of 15, then went onto buy Franks shares in the early 80's, thus becoming Quinn's Auctions. Murray, Jacks other son then went onto buy Jacks shares and Boyd, Jacks third son also later brought into the business.
All three brother still currently own and operate the business, now covering all of Taranaki, buying, selling and auctioning secondhand goods.
