About JE Buckle Engrs Ltd

JE Buckle Engrs Ltd was founded by Jim Buckle in 1970.  Jim started out with one van servicing and repairing mostly Lorries, and his wife Ann seeing to the accounts from home.  By 1972 he had rented one bay of the premises at Cromer, near Stevenage and taken on an extra mechanic.

In 1975 Jim obtained a franchise as a sub dealer for Leyland under ECF and the business steadily grew.

By 1986 Jim had purchased the entire site at Cromer and took on the Deutz Fahr Franchise.  But it was in 1988 the business really started to grow after Jim took on the increasingly popular John Deere Franchise.

In 1990 Jims son Gary started working for the company, followed in 1994 by his daughter Julie and in 1997 by son Paul, making it a truly family run business. 

In 1999 Jim had the chance to take on the John Deere franchise for the Bedfordshire area and had opened the Millbrook Branch by the year 2000.

Jim continued to run the business alongside his wife Ann and their 3 children until his sudden death in May 2002 of an aneurysm, aged just 61. 

The company is now owned and run by Gary, Paul, Julie and Ann Buckle.
