The history of Fowler & Gilbert
Founded in 2011 by Lee Gilbert, one of managing directors, Fowler & Gilbert Ltd has gone from strength to strength thanks to our hard-working staff and satisfied client base.
- With a family farming heritage background and a strong passion for agriculture and the outdoors, Lee began to apply his knowledge to build a new business.
- Fowler & Gilbert was established and incorporated in 2011. Based out of a small port-a-cabin in Middlewich, Lee began expanding the team to meet rising demand.
- After nine years, it was time for a new home. The team did what they do best and fabricated a brand-new 100,000sq ft state-of-the-art facility in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
- The new offices were opened in December 2022 and with strong links to Wales and the Midlands, the new location was spot-on!
As a growing business, we’re committed to improving the already high quality of our products and services. Our story is ongoing – speak to our team today if you’d like to become part of it.
