  "This move was necessitated by explosive business growth," said Karen Keane, partner and CEO of Skinner, Inc."Skinner first occupied the Bolton space in 1971.A lot has changed since then.Skinner is now one of the largest auction houses in the country and truly a world-class organization.Our operations and facilities need to reflect that growth.With this strategic move, we are addressing the space concerns of today, while preparing for long-term future growth as well."The new space will also accommodate more auction storage, eliminating the need for Skinner's leased warehouse facility in Hudson, Mass. "Having appraisal and administrative staff and auction property under the same roof will result in increased efficiency for our business," suggests Keane.
