ABOUT US
Find out more about our business and how we came about.

OUR HISTORY
Though not much is known about our very early roots, Garden
Machinery (Glos) Ltd has foundations in a company called Fewster
and Dennis Limited, which was located in Gloucester Docks and founded in
1974. In 1989, we begun business under the name "Garden Machinery (Gloucester) 1989 Limited", which laid our groundwork as the business we are today.
Our company took a decisive turn, when our current director Phillip Wiggall joined the business at the age of just 16 years old. He started as an apprentice mechanic and worked under Garden Machinery (1989) Ltd for 3 years whilst gaining his level 3 Horticultural Service engineer qualification.
Phillip Wiggall took control of the business with his father (also called Philip Wiggall), under the new name Garden Machinery Gloucester.
Philip Wiggall (Senior) retired and a new business partner joined the company in his place.
When the business partner left, Philip Wiggall became the sole director of the newly formed limited company "Garden Machinery (Glos) Ltd".
