30+ years experience

Based at our showroom in Shaftesbury, Dorset, we’ve built our business around honest advice, reliable workmanship and treating customers the way we’d want to be treated.

From pedestrian and ride-on lawnmowers to hedge trimmers, chainsaws and chippers, we know how important reliable equipment is. That’s why we work hard to diagnose problems quickly, carry out quality repairs and get your machinery back up and running with as little downtime as possible - preferably before the grass gets any longer!

As an independent family-run business, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re a homeowner, landscaper or professional, you can expect friendly service, trusted advice, quality parts and a warm welcome every time you visit us in Shaftesbury.

Ian Tidbury

Ian Tidbury

DIRECTOR

Hi, I’m Ian. I’ve lived in Dorset for the past 34 years and really enjoy being part of the local community. I’m a big fan of motorbikes and cars, and when I’m not working you’ll often find me out walking, travelling, or planning the next trip away.

Family time is very important to me, and I love spending time with my parents, my two daughters and sons-in-law, and especially my two grandsons who certainly keep life fun and busy.

I enjoy meeting new people, having a chat, and bringing a friendly, approachable attitude to everything I do.

Rob Judd

DIRECTOR

I've been front of house for many years running my own business for 16 years.

We retired to Dorset 2 years ago, and had the opportunity to purchase this business and build our family business who share my work ethic of quality workmanship, attention to detail, and great customer service.

My hobbies are riding and maintaining my motorcycles, DIY and being a bit film buff.

DELIVERY WORKHORSE

Our trusty van plays an important role in helping customers across the local area get the machinery they need, when they need it. Whether it's delivering a new lawn mower, collecting a machine for servicing, or transporting equipment as part of a part-exchange, we're always happy to help where possible.

While we don't offer a nationwide collection and delivery service through our website, we can often arrange local deliveries and collections by enquiry. Our team regularly assists customers with the safe transport of their equipment.

If you'd like to discuss delivery, collection, servicing, or a potential part-exchange, simply get in touch and we'll do our best to find a solution that works for you.

Moggy

Moggy

LOCAL HERO

Meet Moggy, our much-loved 1968 Morris Minor van and one of our longest-serving team members. Our charming blue van is still hard at work today, continuing to make local deliveries (while turning heads wherever she goes of course).

More than half a century after leaving the factory, Moggy remains a true labour of love. She's carefully maintained and continually restored to keep her on the road. Combining classic British design with a strong work ethic, she perfectly reflects the values that have shaped Tilbury Judd over the years.

Keep an eye out for Moggy on her travels - she's proof that some machines really are built to last!
