Foxlea commenced trading in 1989, where the proprietor John Grice, looking for a horsebox to transport the family's horses, decided to build one himself. Whilst the box was in build, he had the opportunity to sell his share of a business, and so found himself building horseboxes full time.

             The Foxlea name soon became synonymous with high quality work,  built to last.

    From the beginning, the personnel have all been time-served              tradesmen. Coachbuilders being the predominant trade, with electricians  and coach-painters as required.

    During the early nineties, when the new build business slowed down, due to the recession, Horsebox Bits was launched.

"Bits"specialised in supplying any of the materials and fittings
required by the D.I.Y. enthusiast to build or refurbish a box
himself.

  Soon the "Bits" business expanded from a one page list to a
24-page brochure. The turnover from "Bits" now exceeds
that of "Foxlea".

    In recent times, a further step has been taken by the launch of
        "Horsebox Kits". The concept of "Kits" is based on the premise that the   D.I.Y. builder has neither the experience or the
time to arrange a complete  project.

There the expertise of the "Foxlea" team moves in to assist
with both design and planning of a project.
