Big changes are underway at Dixon Automotive, known to many of you as AutoDrain. After founding the company while working as a dismantler and running it for many years, AutoDrain’s MD, Paul Dixon, has now retired from the business, and his son, Ryan, has been appointed to the role. Ryan has retained Adrian Pierce, the Company’s Commercial Director, who will now take over the running of the AutoDrain business.
“Ryan and I have worked together for some years on developing their small volume dismantling business. In the coming years, Ryan will focus primarily on continuing to develop that operation, and I was therefore delighted when he asked me to take over the running of AutoDrain.” Adrian told us.
“The last few years have been tough for a lot of businesses, ours included. At AutoDrain, we have spread our net very wide in search of new opportunities, and some might say lost a little focus on our core market, which is UK dismantling. I am working hard with my team to be ready to reveal a new look, re-focussed AutoDrain to you all in the summer. Many of you will have heard from us in the last few weeks, and thanks to those who have already been kind enough to place orders for new equipment in 2025. I’m really excited about the conversations I’m having with new and existing customers. I believe that we can expand our offer in some areas and tune it in others to provide real value at any budget. There’s a lot of work to do, but we have a great team.
In the meantime, we are very much open for business and happy to talk to you about depollution and dismantling equipment of any kind.“
