James Johnson Promotion

Hobbs Parker Car Auctions LLP is pleased to announce the appointment of James Johnson as an Associate Director.


This is something I have worked hard for and I feel rewarded for my efforts. I’m really looking forward to the new challenges ahead. Hobbs Parker is a unique firm and the Car Auction team are second-to-none

Since joining Hobbs Parker in 2009, James has played a key role in looking after a large number of our corporate clients, traders and private sellers.

James has extensive experience in the remarketing of cars and a detailed understanding of their respective values. He has become a trusted advisor to many of the South East’s leading dealerships.

On hearing of James’ promotion, Nick Johnson from The Barretts Group said “This is great news,  James has always been extremely helpful, has a wealth of knowledge within the car industry and is a great ambassador for Hobbs Parker Car Auctions. I truly believe that James is most worthy of this promotion and would like to wish him every success for the future.”

James has a passion for, and in-depth knowledge of classic cars and launched Hobbs Parker’s first Classic CarsClassic Car Auction in 2013 which proved to be hugely popular. Now in its sixth year, James’ ambition is to extend this to two or more classic auctions a year to add to an already busy auction calendar.

James also has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Formula 1 and seldom gets stumped on Popmaster!

Jon Chapman, Managing Director of Car Auctions adds “Since the start, James has worked tirelessly with an enormous amount of enthusiasm and has made a huge contribution to the success and growth of our Car Auction business. He is very well liked and has become respected throughout our industry within the South East”.
