Financial Controller Steps Up to the Board at John Pye

8th October 2024

Nottingham headquartered national auction house, John Pye & Sons Ltd, has bolstered its Board with the appointment of Bruce Burton as a Director.

Financial Controller, Bruce Burton, joined the business in 2021, was quickly promoted to Associate Director in 2023 and will now join the seven-strong board of the independently owned auctioneer group.

A chartered accountant and an active member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), Bruce oversees the running of John Pye’s finance department, including managing audit and compliance, overseeing payroll for the whole organisation and keeps a close eye on auction sales/profitability performance against KPIs.

Bruce and his team are responsible for monitoring cashflow and financing, preparing forecasts for prospective business opportunities and investments. He also heads up the procurement team, ensuring that the group selects suppliers which best align with its commercial objectives and company values.

The appointment is in recognition of Bruce’s added value to the business, his proven desire to maximise returns to the company and deliver on customer expectations.

Fellow director, Trevor Palethorpe, said: “Since joining the John Pye team Bruce has been key in implementing continuous improvement within the finance team, driving efficiencies, embracing software and automation, plus building a team with the right skill set with the ability to continually develop.

“Bruce’s leadership, financial acumen and strategic insight have played a significant role in driving the company’s growth and success. The positive impact Bruce has had on our firm cannot be overstated.”

While the role comes with increased workload and responsibilities, Bruce is looking forward to working closely with the other areas of the group and commented: “The appointment to Director at John Pye means a huge amount on a personal and professional level. It is recognition of a finance career 15 years in the making, built on hard work, dedication, having a strong team around you and a desire to constantly improve. It’s a real honour to be appointed to the board of this great company.”

Bruce has built an ambitious team around him who are ready to step up and offer support as he takes up his appointment from 1st October 2024.
