BPI Asset Advisory has been appointed to oversee the sale of Pronto Joinery Ltd.’s extensive asset portfolio, including high-quality woodworking and joinery machinery, commercial vehicles, and workshop equipment.
This follows the liquidation of the family-run business after 50 years of operation. The decision to close the business led to the appointment of BPI to coordinate the disposal of the entire business assets through an online auction.
Located in Horsford, on the outskirts of Norwich, Pronto Joinery has built a solid reputation as a joinery manufacturer, providing wooden replacement windows, doors, and a variety of bespoke joinery options to woodworking professionals and the public.
However, rising operational costs, challenging market conditions, and reduced margins ultimately led to the difficult decision to liquidate the business and sell its assets. In addition to economic pressures, the decision was also influenced by the directors’ and shareholders’ desire to retire.
This exclusive auction, managed by BPI Asset Advisory, provides woodworking businesses with a rare opportunity to acquire well-maintained, high-quality machinery at affordable prices.
The auction, featuring 299 lots, closes on Thursday, 3rd April, at 1 PM, with an in-person viewing on Wednesday, 2nd April and includes:
- 2018 Ford Transit drop-side lorry
- 2021 Ford Transit Custom panel van
- 2001 Lansing Linde side loader
- Caterpillar EP13T-48E electric forklift
- Galvanised steel 3-section extraction unit
- Terra Vac PTO-driven single axle trailer
- 2009 Weima TH820 briquette press
- Wood waste heaters
- Spray booth
To arrange a viewing appointment, please contact carol.allen@bpiaa.com. Collections will take place from 7th to 18th April at the Pronto Joinery factory in Norwich, NR10.
