National auction house John Pye & Sons Ltd has promoted Client Account Manager Carlie Martin to the position of Government Contracts Manager following a raft of contract wins.
Carlie joined John Pye in 2016, gaining extensive industry experience working within the Business Development and Luxury Assets teams. More recently, in 2024, Carlie supported the auctioneer in securing six new high-value supplier contracts. She also supported the tender in which John Pye was appointed as a new supplier on the NEPO procurement framework for managed remarketing of vehicles and plant, which was announced last month.
In her new role, Carlie will oversee John Pye’s public sector contracts and framework agreements. She will also be responsible for developing the auctioneer’s tender strategy, negotiating contracts and renewals with Government agencies, plus acquiring surplus or seized assets for auction. In addition to implementing new strategies to maximise revenue and value, Carlie will also focus on identifying new business opportunities and supporting the bidding for Government disposal contracts.
Carlie said: “I’m really pleased about my new appointment. John Pye has enjoyed a strong period of success, and I’m looking forward to working closely with the bid team to identify new opportunities, support our clients and maximise value for John Pye and Government organisations.”
Based at the firm’s Nottingham headquarters, Carlie will report to Director Addison Pye and oversee several direct reports from the Tender Bid team.
Addison Pye added: “Carlie is a huge asset to the business and this internal promotion is a testament to that. She has demonstrated great skill and aptitude in building client relationships, and it’s good to have her now focusing on this important sector for the business.”
