Auctioneer investment accelerates growth at Auto Solutions

Auctioneer investment accelerates growth at Auto Solutions

Nottingham-headquartered auction house John Pye & Sons Ltd is looking to further boost its service-offering in the automotive sector following its investment in car dismantlers Auto Solutions 2K.

Auto Solutions, an established East Midlands car dismantling company, specialises in collecting and recycling cars, vans and motorcycles. The acquisition has enabled the auctioneer to extend its vehicle contracts business and offer vehicle recycling where an auction isn’t possible. In addition, Auto Solutions benefits from John Pye’s extensive customer portfolio and unrivalled commercial sales expertise.

Since acquiring the business in 2023, John Pye has focused on improving operations and enhancing the customer experience by investing in the site and launching a new website, complete with online shop and advanced search options.

One of the major initiatives supporting growth and vehicle processing speeds was the implementation of an advanced online inventory system. This has significantly improved efficiency and reduced paperwork, enabling the team to focus on operations and expansion. The firm has also invested in three new staff members and increased its vehicle fleet to increase collection capacity.

Adam Pye, Managing Director at John Pye & Sons Ltd, said:

“Our acquisition of Auto Solutions last year has been a huge success story. Thanks to continuous investment, we have expanded our auto service offering to meet the needs of our growing client base.

“We have also supported the growth of the team and facilities at Auto Solutions, enabling them to develop their operations and gain invaluable accreditations to position them as industry leaders.”

Ongoing investment from new owners John Pye, has allowed Auto Solutions to increase the number of vehicles in stock from 40 to more than 200, while the online parts store has also seen exceptional growth, expanding over the past year from stocking around 200 parts to now offering almost 23,000.

Last year, Auto Solutions achieved VRA Certification to enhance its sustainability credentials, whilst General Manager Tony Patsides, also became a board member of the VRA (Vehicle Recycler Association) Committee.

This year, the firm aims to solidify its position as a trusted industry name by investing in its people, infrastructure and machinery while minimising the business’ environmental impact.

Tony Patsides, General Manager at Auto Solutions, said:

“Our acquisition last year helped us realise our ambitious aims, setting us on the path to unprecedented commercial success.

“John Pye is the best in the business and having access to their commercial network and expertise has facilitated our growth in every area. We look forward to capitalising on these achievements and working together to deliver professional excellence to our expanding customer base in 2025 and beyond.”
