John Pye Auctions competitive advantage has been built upon decades of industry innovation.

We were the first UK auction house to transition fully from live traditional auctions to timed online auctions, supported by tangible salesroom viewings.

This process started in 2008 with off-site online auctions of insolvency assets and then developed to our monthly plant and machinery auctions in 2009. A year later we started the transition of our retail goods auctions, starting with goods sourced from John Lewis department stores and doubling recoveries in the process for our client.

For three subsequent years followed the full and final transition of all our remaining auctions, both retail and vehicles, to the online platform, involving a roll out of online auctions across 8 UK sites in the space of three months.

Since then we have set new further industry innovation by devising and delivering John Pye Property online auctions by achieving the following:

  • launched a website, back in the mid 90s
  • televised our auction lot offerings from the rostrum
  • created a Retail Stock Support department
  • transitioned live traditional auctions to online public auctions
  • three times consecutively won Asset Valuer / Auctioneer of the Year in the TRI (Turnaround, Restructuring & Insolvency) Awards, 2015, 2016 & 2017
  • shortlisted in the Amazon Growing Business Awards
  • launched Property auctions online
