A family business established in 1950
The Team
Kim is, in her own words, a ‘Jack of all trades’. She
has been with the company since April 1976, initially as a
secretary/receptionist. She gradually took on more
responsibility, along with her brother Terry. Kim now runs
the company originally founded by her uncles, and taken on
and run by her father, Terry Horrod Snr.

Terry, like sister Kim, proudly boasts that ‘Jack of all trades’
ability. Joining the company as a teenager in late ‘77, he is
now the workhorse of the yard, designing equipment,
overseeing the manufacturing process, and in general solving
all the challenges our clients send us!
