From the Lees family
to ours.
Lockyer Mower Centre first opened its doors in the mid-80s, and it has stocked many of the same trusted brands ever since. For years the shop was in the hands of George and Beverly Lees, who built it into the place the Lockyer Valley relies on for outdoor power equipment: sold properly, serviced properly.
Today the business is run by Guy and Renee, who relocated from Charleville with their family to take it over. They're no strangers to this work: they owned and ran their own plant and gardening business for 17 years. Guy grew up on a sheep and cattle property around motorbikes, dozers and machinery, worked as a wool classer and managed part of the family farm. Renee holds an Honours degree in plant ecology and spent years working in natural resource management and Landcare.
And the know-how customers have trusted for decades hasn't gone anywhere. Craig Lees, George and Beverly's son, is still in the shop doing what he's always done.
Our goal is to make every customer feel satisfied with our products and services. We service everything we sell, and we'll help you get the best out of your gear.Guy & Renee, Owners
