Graham Messer – Director
As the driving force behind Graham Messer Industrial Auctioneers and Valuers, Graham brings to the team more than 30 years’ experience in all facets of auctioneering, asset realisation, plant and machinery valuations and project marketing. Graham has had extensive experience in national and international assignments, (including Canada) where he managed the disposal of a brewery’s plant and equipment, New Zealand for the sale of a television studio and mining valuations in Ghana, West Africa.
Throughout Australia Graham has handled the disposal of mines, abattoirs and engineering assets.
Graham Messer was a former director of Lex Simshauser Partners which was restructured in late 2009. While Lex decided to specialise in the aviation sector, Graham chose to continue in the Auction, Valuation and Project Marketing areas.
Graham began his career with Elders Pastoral as a livestock auctioneer in outback Queensland, later becoming owner and operator of a Central Queensland real estate agency.
In the early ‘80s he joined Mason Gray Strange as auctioneer and project manager, and in 1989 was appointed Queensland auction division manager for Rushton's Valuers . In this role Graham managed major auction and valuation assignments that took him to Canada and New Zealand.
Graham joined Simshauser in 1995 as manager of the Industrial Auctions division, later forming the partnership of Lex Simshauser Partners with Lex Simshauser in 2004.
When Graham Messer Industrial Auctioneers and Valuers was formed in early 2010, it signalled a new era in an already exciting and varied professional career for Graham.
Graham is looking forward to the rewarding challenges and fascinating projects and people he will encounter through this new venture. Equally rewarding will be the opportunity to continue fostering longstanding business relationships that have developed throughout his successful career.
