Welcome to the Grocott Group

The Group’s diverse portfolio of businesses includes a coffee business, a portable buildings hire company, a self storage provider, a pet and animal feeds retail business, Whixall Marina – incorporating holiday accommodation, and McGowan Grocott, our development company.

Grocott Group owners, David and Linda Grocott, belong to the third generation of their family who have run successful businesses in Shropshire for over 80 years. As former owners of Whitchurch-based logistics company, Grocontinental, and employers of 450 mostly local people.

David, Linda and their late father Ray became synonymous with providing stable and secure employment, and built a strong reputation for developing and promoting talent within their business.

Alongside this and over many years, the Grocott family has committed substantial funds and energy to supporting and protecting its local community. These values are now firmly cemented within the Grocott Group as David and Linda take forward a diverse range of successful businesses, all acquired or launched within the last ten years.

The Group also manages a large portfolio of commercial property and residential property, and has an on-going programme of residential and commercial developments.

Working alongside David and Linda is Group Managing Director, Daniel McGowan. Before he joined the Group, Daniel enjoyed an impressive 25-year track record of working in the housebuilding industry.
