A & G Price is a local heavy engineering business providing employment going back to our gold mining days.
These days it is held in some affection, many of our Thames families have connections with the gold mining industry.
It was founded in 1868 in Onehunga, New Zealand by Alfred and George Price from Stroud, Gloucestershire. It manufactured locomotives, rolling stock, repaired ships and flax-milling machines.
In 1974 the staff of A & G Price alone was in excess of 520 people.
Today, global trading and we live in precarious times. Ingenuity in locating contracts worldwide provides for few skilled workers.
