Our Story

Hello and welcome to ToffsTroffs. I am Stevie, the founder of ToffsTroffs, but none of this would have been possible, had it not been for my wonderful partner, Roy. As a Polymer Chemist within the building industry Roy is able to claim decades of experience.

One day he decided that he would make a trough for his own garden, he was mindful that if he ever needed something to do in retirement, he would be able to create these. Accordingly, he used his most durable and trustworthy resin formulation and subjected his newly built trough to long-term exposure. That was nearly 30 years ago and the original trough is holding up well and still looks good.

Roy is now enjoying his retirement, but lucky for me, he has allowed me to escape a job which I didn't enjoy and together we have created ToffsTroffs and I am now working from a unit in a nearby farm, under Roys guidance. We are enjoying our business and take pride in the fact that we are making durable quality products.
