Horner Shearing, West Bradford, Clitheroe, BB7 4QH
About us:
Horner Shearing is a family-run business based in the village of West Bradford, a short drive from Clitheroe. Established in 1989, we have grown from a husband-and-wife partnership into a successful international business, while remaining firmly rooted in the agricultural community.
Our story began when founders Willie and Mary Horner designed and sold the ground-breaking Longhorn 12v shearing machine, which has since become iconic among professional shearers and farmers around the world.
Still managed by founder Willie and his son Will, we are proud to be a traditional, local, family business. We value strong working relationships with our customers, many of whom have been with us for years.
From our site in West Bradford, we cover the full process from the manufacture and fabrication of our world-renowned sheep shearing products through to sales, servicing, repairs and product innovation.
