John Pye Appoints Two New Directors to Strengthen Business Assets Division

National auctioneer John Pye & Sons Ltd has appointed Anna Hall and Chris Eckersley as Directors within its Business Assets and Property Division, reinforcing its professional services leadership team.

The promotions follow a strategic restructure of John Pye’s Professional Services division in late 2024 and the appointment of Charles Loake as Managing Director. Anna and Chris will now oversee the valuation and sale of businesses, assets and property, as well as mentoring the next generation of valuers within the company.

Anna Hall, a NAVA Propertymark member, joined John Pye in 2013 with a decade of experience in corporate recovery, insolvency, liquidations and administrations.

Chris Eckersley, a Chartered Surveyor and RICS member, joined in 2022. He brings over 22 years of experience from global surveying firms and holds a BSc (Hons) in Estate Management.

Charles Loake, Managing Director of Business Assets, said:
“Anna and Chris have been integral to the division’s growth. Their promotions are well deserved and reflect their commitment to our clients and team. This strengthens our leadership and enhances our valuation and asset disposal services.”

Anna Hall commented:
“I’m proud to step into this role after over a decade with John Pye. The support of such a strong team has been crucial in reaching this point. I look forward to contributing further to the company’s continued success.”

Chris Eckersley added:
“This is a major milestone in my career. I’m honoured by the trust placed in me and grateful to colleagues, clients, and family who have supported me along the way.”

John Pye’s Business Assets division provides valuations and asset disposal advice for property, machinery, stock, and business assets across all sectors. The team acts on behalf of banks, finance companies, insolvency practitioners, private clients and government bodies, and has played a key role in high-profile insolvency cases including MADE.com and Moor Large Co.
