John Pye is a Nottingham-based retail company operating the United Kingdom's largest and fastest-growing auction house network, with sites across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It runs six divisions: Retail, Business Assets, Property, Vehicles, Luxury and Technical, and it was a pioneer in fully transitioning from live auctions to weekly online auctions while retaining public saleroom viewings. The group offers an end-to-end suite of services from appraisal and valuations to logistics, storage and auctions, private treaty and tender sales, serving both national and international clients and supporting reverse supply chains for major retailers and corporations. Founded in 1968, the company is based in Nottingham, in the East Midlands. Its activity centers on asset and stock clearance for the secondary market, handling engagements from asset appraisal and inventory valuations through lending, corporate restructuring, cessation, administrations, liquidations and receiverships. In 2025, leadership appointments within its Business Assets and Property Divisions were announced, reflecting ongoing expansion of its professional services.
