Barrett-Jackson Auction Company


Barrett-Jackson is the leading provider of event-based auctions for classic and collector cars. Featuring a wide variety of world-class automobiles, the company's auctions have gained a reputation as "must-attend" events for automobile collectors and enthusiasts.

Barrett-Jackson currently holds three events each year: one in Scottsdale, AZ, one in Palm Beach, FL and one in Las Vegas, NV. The Scottsdale event has grown to be the largest single collector car auction event in the world with over 1,000 cars sold each year. The company has also pioneered the live broadcasting of collector car auctions on national television, and today its live coverage on the SPEED Channel is one of the network's highest rated televised events.

Endeavour partnered with Craig Jackson and his management team in 2007 to provide existing shareholders with liquidity and to continue to grow the Barrett-Jackson franchise. No debt was used to finance the transaction. Since Endeavour's investment, the company has added a third annual event in Las Vegas and continued to strengthen and expand its overall market offering.
