In 1998, Gordon set up his own business buying and selling 'Arts and Crafts Silver' and other objects. He also advises Scottish museums and institutions on silver and decorative arts acquisitions.

One of Gordon鈥檚 highlights in his time on the Roadshow is an enamelled brass cross that came along to the Roadshow at St Andrews in 2011. The cross was designed by one of the Glasgow Girls in the early part of the 20th Century and Gordon recalls that both the design and the craftsmanship were "really wonderful".
