JHM Butt & Company Ltd, generally referred to as ‘Butts of Bawtry’, was started on 18th November 1971 by Maurice Butt, Dennis Harrison, Alan Kay & Ken Wakerley. The company was created to market workshop equipment to the automotive sector and in the early days acted as a reseller for UK based manufacturers and importers selling to independent car workshops and franchise dealers. The company was run by Ken Wakerley’s son Fraser Wakerley until March 2019 when it was taken over by Mark & Carolyn Bean. Mark has worked at the company for over 30 years and most recently was the Sales Director developing the comprehensive range of tools and small workshop equipment range which forms a significant part of the company product range. Fraser has been retained as a consultant to offer advice to the new owners. Moving to purpose built premises in 1991 the company re invented itself to become a successful importer and distributor of workshop equipment to all sectors of the automotive sector including car, commercial vehicle and PSV workshops. Butts import a complete range of vehicle lifts, exhaust extraction, compressors, lubrication equipment and a comprehensive range of hand tools, power tools & workshop furniture. With our own factory trained engineers and a wide range of parts available from our offices in Bawtry we are able to cater for all customer requirements from individual vehicle lifts to MOT Test Lanes and new green field developments.
