Established in 1948, and becoming a limited company in 1950, WJ Horrod Ltd is a family business that holds true to the ethical and honourable traditions of manufacturing equipment designed for industries dealing with roofing, flooring, highways and joining. Our target industry can be a dangerous place for the workforce, and thus we have always endeavoured to treat all the equipment we design to provide safety to the user and to the work environment.
Over the years, we have become synonymous with using skills to conceive and design products that fit into an ever-increasing marketplace, whilst maintaining the discipline of honesty and integrity that imbues our reputation as being the leading manufacturer in the country.
Who are we?

Terry Horrod has led the company for over thirty-five years, designing and implementing company policy, as well as driving the design and manufacturing imperatives of the products. His main ethos is to produce equipment that provides safety, efficiency and durability - a company motto we have maintained and been guided to.

Engineering, designing, manufacturing and ethics.
Horrods prides itself in our expertise in many fields of manufacturing and designing products, but we also believe our customers should be given the facts.
Within this website, we present the products we have been supplying to many industries for over 59 years. But we also stress the importance of education, training and giving our customers the tools to fulfil their contracts with equipment that we believe is the best we can supply.
Each department within our family business is geared up to understand the needs of our customers, and to offer advice, assistance and products that will give them the confidence to use, knowing our primary obligation to safety, efficiency and integrity will never be a corner to cut.
