About Us

History of our Family Business

John ChirnsideJohn Chirnside pictured left, moved to Borough Green in 1946 where he purchased the Black Smiths shop at the crossroads in Borough Green. After a short period of time he moved into making fencing and gates.

In May 1957 John Chirnside & Sons Ltd was formed when his two sons George and Dugald both joined the business after leaving school.

The company moved to it's present site at Longpond Works, Wrotham Road, Borough Green in 1958, where we have been manufacturing steel fencing and gates to the present day.

John's two grandsons, Paul and Ian both joined the business during the 1980's after leaving school to ensure the business continues strongly for the foreseeable future.

Although George retired in 1997, Dugald still serves the company with great enthusiasm.
