[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Serrell attended the Royal Grammar School Worcester, where he was a schoolmate of the Pakistani cricket captain Imran Khan. Serrell played both cricket and rugby for the school, prior to his attendance at, and graduation from, Loughborough College of Physical Education as a physical education teacher[1][2] (though some sources suggest he taught Geography) in 1976.
Dissatisfied as a teacher, Serrell changed careers to become an auctioneer, working in the local livestock trade until qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in 1988, specializing in fine art and antiques.
[edit] Professional career
Serrell owns an Auctioneers and Valuers firm with offices in Worcester and a salesroom in Great Malvern, established in 1995.[3] He is a regular expert on the BBC series Bargain Hunt and Flog It!, and has also made a couple of appearance on ITV's Dickinson's Real Deal. He has also featured on other BBC series Antiques Road Trip and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (where he is light-heartedly billed as Phil "The Fox" Serrell).
He has regularly appeared on BBC Local Radio, and has also written a biweekly column for the Worcester News.
