Original Peck Depot
Current Ely Head Office
Company History
G & J Peck Ltd is an employee owned agricultural machinery distributor operating from five depots across Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and the latest addition based in Suffolk. The company was founded in 1846 by father and son, George and John Peck who set up a blacksmith and ironmonger business in Ely, Cambridgeshire, where the company’s head office remains based today. With the development in farm machinery, the business expanded to include sales, parts and service of agricultural machinery and equipment.
In 1987, the Ramsey St Mary’s, Cambridgeshire depot was opened followed by Mareham-le-Fen, Lincolnshire depot in January 1999. Due to the company’s substantial growth between 1999 and 2006 and the addition of the Pecks AgriTrac division operating with the CASE IH franchise new purpose built premises were built at Pinchbeck near Spalding, Lincolnshire. In 2008, the expansion of the JCB franchise into Norfolk saw the need for an additional depot at Dereham, which was opened in 2014. Due to the continued growth of the company, new larger premises were required in order to house the Ely head office, so in 2016, a new Ely head office was opened.
Today Pecks offers a wide range of new and used agricultural machinery and support the farming community with a 7 day a week support service.
