Our Company History
Premier Garage Equipment was founded in 2008 with a simple vision: to put quality and service at the heart of everything we do.
Built on Experience & Integrity
Premier Garage Equipment (PGE) was founded in 2008 by Jonathan Jennings, our managing director. With more than 30 years' experience in the garage equipment industry, he wanted to create a company of his own. Jonathan's vision was to put quality and service at the heart of PGE and build a reputation for integrity and excellence.
Our business grew in London and gradually spread to the Home Counties and the Midlands. Over the years, our continued success has meant that we've been able to service new business even further afield and we are now proud to cover the whole of the UK.
