4.  Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers began as a family-run business in Kelowna, Canada. Three brothers - Dave, Ken and John - conducted their first auction in 1958, selling $2,000 of inventory from their furniture store to pay a bank debt. Spurred by success, the brothers began conducting more auctions, eventually progressing beyond furniture and into industrial equipment. Flash forward 50 years, and Ritchie Bros. is now the world’s largest industrial auctioneer. We’re publicly traded on the TSE and NYSE. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, we have over 110 locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. We offer stable, rewarding careers for hard-working people like Dave, Ken and John - people who strive to achieve big goals, and who inspire others to do the same.  Website: http://careers.rbauction.com/careers  Client Stories: http://www.rbauction.com/aboutus/testimonials  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ritchie-bros?trk=company_logo  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rbcareers  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ritchiebros  YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ritchiebros Ritchie Bros.
