"We are delighted that both George Kontis and Jeremy Nelson have joined Tattersalls' extensive team of overseas representatives.

"Greece and South Africa are increasingly important markets for us," said Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony, "and with the assistance of both George and Jeremy, we look forward to welcoming increasing numbers of buyers to Tattersalls from both countries in the future."
