The History of Brookers
Brookers have come a long way since Thomas Brooker took a train from Hampshire back in 1876 and opted, on a whim, to get off at Hitchin - having decided that it looked like the most likely place to make a success of his ironmongery emporium.
The original business was targeted at farmers and agriculture-based companies in the North Herts area.
Successive generations of Brookers have developed the company over the turn of two centuries. Now with three large branches providing a vast array of supplies and services to professionals, tradesmen and numerous DIY enthusiasts, Brookers is better placed than ever to help its customers meet 21st century challenges.
The Brooker family is still very actively involved and has overseen the expansion of what has become a Hertfordshire institution, hugely respected for its quality of service and the quality and value-for-money of its products.
