Nottingham-headquartered John Pye Auctions is set to compete alongside nearly 150 UK businesses at this year’s British Business Awards, taking place in Edinburgh on 30th April 2026.
The ceremony will feature a special guest appearance from George Clooney at what is expected to be a highprofile evening for the UK business community.
John Pye has been shortlisted in the Family Business of the Year category, joining a competitive line-up that includes well-known names such as Albert Bartlett, Bettys & Taylors Group, Border Biscuits, Laing O’Rourke, Walker’s Shortbread and Warburtons.
A multi-award-winning, ISO-accredited, independent family-run business, John Pye is widely recognised as the UK’s leading commercial auction house network. Operating from 21 sites across the UK and Europe, the business employs more than 750 people and oversees over 30,000 valuations and 1.5 million items each year, across more than 2,500 online auctions.
The 2026 shortlist reflects a broad cross-section of British industry, with global players such as AstraZeneca and Moderna appearing alongside consumer brands including Iceland, Nando’s, Dishoom and Holland & Barrett. The shortlist also highlights a strong presence of high-growth scale-ups, family-owned firms and SMEs from across the UK.
All shortlisted companies will be included in the inaugural British Business Leaders List, a new recognition for organisations demonstrating strong performance and influence within modern UK enterprise.
This year saw a record-breaking 400+ entries, with businesses assessed across five key areas: business performance, innovation, workforce and culture, customer impact, and contribution to society and the wider economy. Those achieving the highest combined scores progressed to the shortlist and will now be reviewed by an independent judging panel made up of senior figures from across British industry.
Adam Pye, Managing Director at John Pye & Sons Ltd, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted in the Family Business of the Year award category at the British Business Awards. From humble beginnings at Nottingham’s old Cattle Market site our family business now operates a nationwide commercial auction house network, fusing traditional auction principles with modern technology. To be recognised amongst so many household names is a fantastic achievement for the team.”
The awards ceremony is set to return on a larger scale this year, with keynote contributions from Sir Bob Geldof and hosting duties shared by Rob Brydon and Elaine C Smith.
Taking place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, the event is expected to welcome up to 2,000 business leaders. As in previous years, the awards will support Social Bite, with a fundraising target exceeding £1 million. A separate fundraising dinner will also be held at the Gleneagles Hotel the evening before the awards.

In laboratory environments, access to reliable and high-quality equipment is essential for maintaining accuracy, safety and efficiency.
Across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food testing and academic research, specialist laboratory instruments are an essential part of daily operations. However, the cost of purchasing new equipment can be significant, particularly for start-ups, smaller labs or facilities expanding their capabilities.
Laboratory equipment auctions have become an increasingly practical solution, offering a cost-effective way to source professional-grade instruments without the price tag associated with buying new. Drawing on surplus, ex-demonstration and liquidated assets, these auctions provide access to equipment from established laboratories and research institutions.
What to Expect at Auction
The scope of equipment available at auction can be wide-ranging, with sales often featuring a mix of analytical, general and specialist laboratory assets.
Typical lots include precision instruments such as spectrometers, chromatographs, balances and centrifuges, alongside everyday essentials like incubators, fume hoods and microscopes. Larger auctions may also include processing and testing machinery, reactors, mixers, ovens and freezers, as well as more specialised systems such as cleanroom equipment, environmental chambers and sterilisation units.
As each auction varies in focus and scale, reviewing catalogues in detail is essential to identify equipment suited to specific operational needs.
Why Buyers Are Turning to Auctions
For many businesses, cost remains the primary driver. Auctions provide access to high-specification equipment at significantly reduced prices, allowing organisations to maximise budgets and invest more strategically.
There is also a growing emphasis on sustainability. By purchasing pre-owned equipment, businesses can extend the lifecycle of valuable assets and reduce waste, supporting more responsible procurement practices.
Auctions also offer access to a broad range of brands and models, including discontinued or hard-to source equipment that may no longer be available through traditional channels. With many auctioneers working directly with reputable institutions, equipment is often well maintained and supported by condition information.
Approaching Auctions with Confidence
While the opportunities are clear, preparation remains key. Understanding the auctioneer’s expertise, reviewing specifications and factoring in additional costs such as buyer’s premiums, VAT and logistics are all important steps in the process.
A Practical Route to Sourcing Equipment
As businesses look for more flexible and cost-effective ways to equip their laboratories, auctions continue to play an important role. They offer not only financial advantages, but also access to a diverse and often hardto-source range of equipment.
At Auction News, we work with a trusted network of auctioneers across the UK, providing regular access to laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment sales. From individual instruments to full laboratory clearances, new opportunities are added frequently.
