BPI has launched a series of auctions following the closure of a long-established Midlands-based agricultural machinery dealer, which operated multiple depots across Shropshire, the Midlands, the North West and Wales. 

The company, which traded for more than 40 years, represented leading brands including John Deere, New Holland, Valtra and JCB. Despite its reputation and wide customer base, the business was unable to overcome prolonged trading challenges, rising costs and reduced farm spending – pressures that have affected many dealerships across the sector in recent years. 

The closure has unfortunately resulted in the loss of almost 150 jobs and the winding down of operations across seven depots, with a small number of staff remaining to assist administrators during the process. 

Whilst the closure marks a sad moment for the industry, the upcoming sales provide an opportunity for farmers, contractors and businesses across the UK to acquire well-maintained machinery and equipment at competitive prices. 

The auctions are split into three categories, covering tractors, telehandlers, attachments and more. Assets include a 2022 John Deere 8RX 410 Four-Tracked Tractor, 2019 John Deere T670i Combine Harvester, 2024 Valtra Q305, 2023 New Holland T7.270 and 2021 JCB 4220 Fastrac tractors, alongside several 2017–2024 JCB and New Holland telehandlers and a 2018 JCB 435S Wheeled Loader.

A selection of attachments is also available, featuring a 2023 Kuhn Espro 4000R Seed Drill, 2025 Hi Spec 2300 SA-R Tanker, Bailey 18T and 16T Tipping Trailers, New Holland Roll Baler and Hayliner models, Joskin slurry tanks and 2025 Kuhn tedders. 

Nathan Burnham, Associate Director at BPI, commented: “We’re already seeing strong levels of interest in the assets available. For many buyers, sales like this provide a rare chance to secure machinery of this quality and specification at competitive prices, which can make a real difference in today’s challenging economic climate.”  

All auctions will close on 30th October from 12pm, with viewings available on Tuesday 28th October in York (YO42).
