Brightwells CHELTENHAM Established 1846

Unique selling point a benefit to all Richard Pugh on the changing way in which Irish pointers are reaching the British market. “…. time has proved that selling in the Brightwells arena at Cheltenham has been a huge success and one of those unusual ideas in business which benefits all parties: buyer, seller and indeed the sport in general.

Buyers have been able to build up trust that each season’s crop from Brightwells has been selected carefully and subsequent success has been testament to this.

Of importance, too in building confidence was Brightwells move to become the first sale to pre-vet pointers”.
