Our history spans three decades to 1992, originating in the coal mining industry in Yorkshire, England.
During that time, members of BLP founded & launched Polyflex International, an International supplier of industrial machinery & equipment. By 1999, Polyflex had grown to become one of the largest buyers & sellers of industrial machinery, serving clients in over 60 countries.
In 1999, Polyflex joined forces with co-founders of Go Industry.com to launch a World first; a multi sector on-line industrial machinery & equipment auction sales platform.
The on-line auction platform would connect International buyers (bidders) & sellers (vendors) of industrial, construction, mining, forestry & chemicals machinery & equipment.
The late 1990s & early 2000s was a difficult period for new technology start-ups, including for the Go Industry team. There was a high degree of dotcom failures across the UK & Europe, with many citing a lack of seed funding as the primary reason for going into receivership.
It was in this same environment that the Go Industry team needed to raise enough money to successfully launch Go Industry. In June 2000, the team was successful in raising nearly $40M USD in first round seed funding.
A critical confidence milestone for the team, the business model and our investors occurred in 2000. Go Industry successfully completed the World’s first successful online auction sale of an entire injection molding manufacturing facility; the sale of British General Electric (BGE) Kent, England.
The on-line auction sale made history with 73% of the equipment selling to 36 clients from 18 countries with a total sales value of over £1.1M GBP. A World first. The scale, operations and global reach for a transaction of this type was unprecedented in the year 2000. The success of the event was a culmination of hard lessons learned from failures along the way, a carefully thought out & executed plan, a team of highly skilled market-makers, project managers, and technologists, all working together to achieve a common goal.
Funding for Go Industry was understandably tied to performance and without the British General Electric factory sale, Go Industry may have gone the same way as many other dotcom technology firms.
BLP members were privileged to be amongst the chief architects in the planning and execution of the BG Electrical sale event. With more successes under its belt, Go Industry would later go on to buy the world’s oldest auction house, Henry Butcher (Founded in London in 1877) as later Michael Fox International and Karner & Co. The company would raise a further $18M to acquire its US rival, Dovebid, to become Go-Dove.
Learning from the dotcom failures, Go-Dove emerged as a rare success, growing to become one of the most successful on-line trading technology platforms in the World.
