Midland Chandlers - Canalboat Equipment Since 1979

We have been in operation for almost 30 years from our Penkridge base in Staffordshire. The founder of the business, Peter F Jones, began boat building in the early 1970's before acquiring Teddesley Boats in approx 1977, which would be involved in both boat building and hire. Ordering equipment from boat yards was a hit-and-miss affair and within two years of owning Teddesley the chandlery had expanded into a sizeable business of its own. In 1979 Midland Chandlers was well established and the rest you could say is history. Following Peter's retirement in 2006, we are pleased to advise that the business is still privately owned and shall continue the long-established traditions upon which it is founded.
The company now consists of four excellently stocked showrooms, enabling the boat builder to complete the job without delay, time is money! We carry a vast amount of stock, this we can only continue to do with your support, which is greatly appreciated.
We feel, over the years, our products have been tried and tested, we value customer feed back and will always endeavour to upgrade and introduce new products as and when they are made available to us. We will try to answer your questions, relating to the suitablility of goods you are purchasing, in house, however if we don't have the answer to hand we will usually know a man that does.
