How would you describe what you do at John Pye to a Martian?
I work with existing clients supporting their used vehicle disposal operations and find new business opportunities within the used vehicle market, identifying vehicle market trends and managing the sale process using our online auction platform.
How long have you worked for John Pye?
I started working for John Pye Auctions in November 2014 as a Saleroom Porter I’ve been here 8 years, (I’m looking forward to reaching 10!!)
If you weren’t what you are what would you be?
If I wasn’t doing the job I love, I could see myself selling jacket potatoes out the side of a converted VW T2 or Citroen H van, serving the lunch time rush.
Who inspires you most and why?
My Wife, juggling a full time job in the NHS, looking after our 2 children and me is a task itself to inspire anybody.
How would your best friend describe you?
Kind, thoughtful, helpful, office joker (This is from our Vehicle Admin Team).

Grapejuice – Harry Styles.
What is your biggest indulgence?
Family Holidays – it’s what I work for (and my obsession for Hot wheels toy cars!!!)
What one piece of advice would you give your younger self?
?Listen more, listen better, pay attention and remember! Many people have been there and done that and can save you some headaches—but only if you listen.
What’s the best thing about working at John Pye?
Every day at John Pye Auctions is different and has its challenges, no two days are the same I love having unusual or rare vehicles consigned to auction and my colleagues are some of the best to work with, it makes you feel a valued part of the Pye Family.
