About George Browns

In 1850 he was joined by his son William who was taught the art of manufacturing edge tools like scythes, chisels, hay knives and forks, an area George had begun to specialise in.

By the end of the 19th century, they had installed steam driven machinery, father and son then turned to making farm implements such as ploughs, drills and horse hoes.

The brothers decided to expand the manufacturing side and in 1959 they invented an automatic bale sledge, which sold over 10,000. It was also in the 1950s that they opened branches in Aylesbury (relocated to Haddenham in 1982), Buckingham (closed in 2022) and Chesham.

In the early 80’s, the fifth generation, led by then managing director Christopher, directors Andrew, Richard and Jim, carried on the traditions first adopted by the founder George. Jim is responsible for the Brown’s Agricultural Machinery our manufacturing side, Richard runs a 700 acre farm in Winslow. While Chris and Andrew are further developing the dealerships. The business expanded in 1994 by purchasing Essex based Chelmsford Grass Machinery, which then relocated to Dunmow, Essex in 2014 to a full-line Kubota branch. In 1999, the business grew further again by setting up another full-line Kubota branch in Daventry, Northamptonshire. From these locations we now serve Essex, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, North-East London, Rutland, Suffolk, Warwickshire & West Midlands.
