BPI Asset Advisory to manage the disposal of Pronto Joinery Ltd's assets

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 led to BPI’s appointment to coordinate the disposal of all business assets via an online auction.

Located in Horsford, on the outskirts of Norwich, Pronto Joinery built a strong reputation as a manufacturer of wooden replacement windows, doors, and bespoke joinery for both 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. In addition to economic pressures, the directors’ and shareholders’ decision to retire also played a role.

This exclusive auction, managed by BPI Asset Advisory, provides woodworking businesses with a rare opportunity to acquire well-maintained, high-quality machinery at competitive prices.

The auction, featuring 299 lots, closes on Thursday 3 April, at 1PM, with an in-person viewing on Wednesday 2 April. Items include:

                •              2018 Ford Transit drop-side lorry

                •              2021 Ford Transit Custom panel van

                •              2001 Lansing Linde side loader

                •              Caterpillar EP13T-48E electric forklift

                •              Galvanised steel three-section extraction unit

                •              Terra Vac PTO-driven single-axle trailer

                •              2009 Weima TH820 briquette press

                •              Wood waste heaters

                •              Spray booth
