Primaries, Dyson Jones and Wool Agency held their final auction at Spearwood last week.

Primaries managing director Matt Pedersen said after industry discussions about centralised selling, the Spearwood Auction Centre decided to move its sale room in with Elders and Landmark in a bid to save costs for all sectors of the industry.

“With the drop in volume of wool and the centralised selling review we were very opposed to moving interstate,” Mr Pedersen said.

“Moving from Fremantle would have meant a disadvantage for the grower and an increase in charges.

“We have been in negotiations with all the other brokers and this has been the most cost effective way forward.”

He said it was vital to keep Fremantle open.

“We have now merged the two selling rooms and this will come into effect this week,” he said.
