About Us
Sibbons (Alresford) Ltd was established in 1963 by founder Norman Sibbons who after a few successful years expanded his property development company into plant and tool hire. Originally trading from St. Johns Workshop in Bromley Road, Elmstead Market, the company then expanded to larger premises around the corner at Bottles Hall in Clacton Road.
Since 1986 Sibbons has traded from its current purpose built premises, a three acre site located at Keelars Tye, Keelars Lane, Elmstead. Initially with a single large building housing our specialist workshops, a shop and office, this is now used as a stores and workshop with a larger shop and office built next door which we still use today. More recently, we have further expanded building a huge, road front shop with a full car park attached to the existing shop to ensure we are better able to serve our customers and the public for years to come.
We are proud that the company is one of the largest independents in the area; while also still being a family run company with first, second and third generations all currently working within the company.
We have spent many years building solid relationships with a vast range of top brands; this means that we are better able to offer you what you want at affordable prices. We pride ourselves on being an official dealer for a fantastic selection of clothing, workwear and footwear, and boast brands such as JACK MURPHY, TOGGI, SNICKERS, MASCOT, HELLY HANSEN, DR MARTENS, CAT and many, many more.
