William Gilder

William Gilder started the business in 1985 as an agricultural contractor. During this time, William saw an opportunity to buy and sell used farm machinery. As the business grew he acquired his first truck, in order to offer a delivery service for the machinery he sold. Initially he drove the 10ft MAN flatbed himself, but soon needed to employ the first of many employees as business rapidly grew.

In 1989 the business relocated to one of its current locations in Gretton Fields and continued to grow and diversify into other fields, namely shunting tug and tanker hire. Acquiring more and more vehicles and equipment led to a commercial repair workshop being established at the same location. The photo is courtesy of and copyrighted to Jim Lennox.
