Key Assets of Leading Manufacturer Dempsey Dyer Limited Now Available in BPI Online Auction

BPI Asset Advisory, a RICS-regulated valuation and disposal specialist, has been appointed to manage the sale of assets from Dempsey Dyer Limited following the company’s closure in December 2024. Joint Liquidators David Robson and David Broadbent of Gaines Robson and Begbies Traynor were appointed on 17 December 2024 to oversee the process.

Founded in 1977, Dempsey Dyer Limited, based in South Kirkby, West Yorkshire, was a respected manufacturer of high-quality uPVC, timber, and aluminium windows and doors for domestic, trade, and commercial customers. Despite a concerted marketing effort to secure a buyer for the business, the company ceased trading, and its assets are now being sold via a two-day online auction.

Expert Commentary

Luke Hartshorn, Director at BPI Asset Advisory, stated:

“While it is unfortunate that a buyer for the business could not be secured, this online auction provides an excellent opportunity for industry players to acquire high-quality manufacturing equipment.
