Established in 1922, Grays Founder Frank Ralph Gray started the business selling pots and pans at local markets.

Gray’s moved into agricultural and equestrian products in the 50s.

After the War, 2nd Generation Peter and Tony took the Show on the road.

It was soon obvious to move away from standard household items into a more specialised Equestrian and Country themed look to

satisfy the growing appetite at outdoor shows.

 

 

Gray’s were one of the first companies to stock the collectable figurines Border Fine Arts and due to the popularity of these items we

moved to a bigger warehouse and introduced a mail order catalogue.

3rd Generation Nick and Jon were instrumental in establishing the company's wholesale business with us now supplying multiple UK

Stores along with Specialist Equestrian Outlet all across the world from America to New Zealand.

 

 

With a younger audience now attending the Outdoor shows, Greg and Abigail took over the reigns of Gray’s in 2015, developing our

range further to include the design and manufacture of an extensive Leather Range.
