Our Team

Like you, we know that great companies are built when good ideas coalesce with good people that create good synergy. At Hackstons our ecosystem is far-reaching so we would like to credit the independent brokers, vendors, tradespeople, analysts, researchers, and content creators that we work with.

Our continuous success would not be possible without them and our core in-house team.

My father has been collecting gold as a store of wealth since the ’70s. This tradition has been passed on to me, and I have been dollar-cost averaging my portfolio since 2001.

I acquired land in Royal Albert, Docklands. Planning permission was granted, and then land was developed by Laing O’Rourke, producing 198 luxury apartments.

I purchased an Audemars Piguet skeleton perpetual calendar in 2012. A few years later, the timepiece was discontinued and since it has increased in value over 400%.

A client gifted me a case of Boêrl & Kroff in 2018; in 2019, the case had increased in value so dramatically that I sold 3 bottles and kept 3 bottles, which we enjoyed at my wedding in July of that year.

My father has always collected “things”. In 1987, he purchased an unreleased record by The Beatles. The song was “How do you do it”, which was later released by Jerry and The Pacemakers and became a huge hit.

Tessa Crawford

Director of Marketing

The pride and joy of my collection is 180 million years old! I like to look for fossils and taxidermies in markets where sellers often do not realise the rarity of the species being sold. I once found a marine reptile tooth that was mislabelled as a sea snail shell.

Having grown up in a family of Arsenal fans, I’ve built up a pretty impressive collection of memorabilia! The centrepieces of my collection are signed balls from both Tony Adams and Marc Overmars.

In late 2014, I had the opportunity, surprising as it was, to purchase a box of 20 Cohiba Robusto Reserva Cosecha cigars. A beautiful smoke, tucked safely away for special dates.

Previously being an equestrian for 12 years, I have always had a love for horses. Man Friday, a chestnut breed, was bought by Willow Tree Riding School. I was the only person tall enough to ride him at the time, and we won lots of shows until he was sold for a considerable sum.

Watching the value of my Rolex Day-Date appreciate in double digits every year since 2017 has enticed my appetite in the multi-asset investment world. I intend to grow my collection and pass it down for generations to come.

My grandfather is a keen Photographer. He has a unique collection of Leica cameras including a rare M2. He has promised his portfolio to his grandchildren but sometimes I practice with his M6.

My Grandad collected St Dupont lighters, he passed them onto me and I’ve continued this passion. The most precious lighter in my collection dates back to 1945!
