Managing over 1.5 million units a year, ranging from retail stock to heavy haulage through to construction plant and machinery, marine vessels and planes requires significant logistical undertakings, with robust infrastructure and an approved, reliable and resourceful logistical supply chain.

Our clients ranging across automotive, banking, lending, retail, heavy industry, property and luxury assets call upon John Pye Auctions not only to realise their surplus stock and assets into the secondary market but often firstly to move substantial stock and asset holdings from their sites to free up valuable storage space, often at their seasonal peak periods when it is needed most and carries the greatest premium.

John Pye Auctions Logistics supply chain capacity and operational delivery has been grown organically for over 20 years and has been stress tested by some of the biggest blue chip names, as well as Central Government Authorities.

From the logstical delivery of moving over 16,000 seized vehicles without keys to and from 30 vehicle enforcement pounds and auction sites across the UK, to the demanding collection and relocation requirements of UK Retail PLCs needing over qty 5,000 x 40ft trailers of stock transportation from the UK disribution centres to John Pye Auctions UK network of hubs, we have built long standing logistic supplier partnerships which our clients depend upon.

These include approved logstics suppliers of heavy machinery moving assets facilitated by low loaders and hi-abs, as well as specialist marine vessel transportation suppliers, with over 30 years experience in boat transportation across Europe.

All our logistics operations are subject to risk assessments and ISO 9001 quality management systems, as well as our Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, (officially BS OHSAS 18001), which is an internationally applied British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems.

In essence, John Pye Auctions are on hand for clients to solve logistical stock and asset headaches, often at the shortest of notice, supported by the UK’s biggest bricks and mortar infrastructure network of owner operated sites, spanning more than 60 acres.
