About Us
Supplying Fencing In Dorset Since c1886
Originally founded on c1886 by James Thorne who farmed at Romford Mill near Verwood which is where the sawmill was first located and powered by steam.
After James died in 1910 his son Robert Thorne, continued running the business and named the business Robert Thorne. He also expanded into agricultural contracting with various steam engines and threshing tackle.
The company not only supplied timber to local businesses and farmers but, also to the Government during both World Wars as well as working with the railways to maintain rolling stock.
Design & Build Services Available
In 2008 we became Agents for L.M. Bateman, supplying a wide range of livestock equipment including gates and cattle crushes, to local farmers. Having our own mixed farm gives us a true perspective of what is required and working with the staff at Batemans, we also offer a design service to cater for your needs.
Recently we have diversified into the construction of bespoke mobile Horse Jumps. These jumps are made to order and designed around the customers needs and then tanalised after assembly. If you need fencing in Dorset, contact our team now.
