:: About Us

The business was started in 1952 when we bought the garage on the Green in Talgarth. From there we started to sell fuel, service and repair cars and motorbikes. In addition to the motor trade we also took on blacksmithing work, mainly shoeing horses for the local hospitals.

With Talgarth being situated in a large agricultural area, it was not long before we started to buy, sell, service and repair, new and used agricultural machinery. The agricultural side of things soon started to outgrow the commercial side of the business, so it became our main focus. As the business grew, we purchased the neighbouring yard (previously a sawmills) to help cope with the demand.

From then on we started to sell Ifor Williams trailers (being appointed main distributor for Powys), and soon got other major machinery manufacturers to supply us, so we met all our customers requirements.

In addition to supplying local farmers with machinery, we began agricultural contracting, mainly consisting of manure spreading and combining, (where at one point we had ten combines on the go).

In the early sixties we purchased another yard (Belmont works) seven miles down the road, in Hay-On-Wye. From there we were appointed the International Harvester franchise.

In the mid eighties we sold Belmont works so we could concentrate on Talgarth, and also to give us an opportunity to move into farming.

As time progressed and trends changed we decided to concentrate on the supply of machinery and thus gave up the contracting business. This has enabled us to increase our customer base and further improve our reputation at providing a variety of equipment and after-service for all our customers needs.

Today we are distributors for 20+ manufacturers. Not only do we supply new and used equipment, but we also provide a full repair service, as well stocking a large quantity of parts.
