Meet the Team

  • Samuel Trotter – Founder & Pioneer

    My father, Samuel, founded S.A Trotters in 1959 with a simple goal,

    'Provide the community with quality tools and exceptional service.'

    His values and work ethic are the backbone of our business. Although he’s still very much involved, he now shares the reins with me.

    He loves telling stories about the shop’s early days, like how he "sold 4 million mouse traps" in the first week. If you ask, he'll admit 'Million' was the brand name!


  • Andrew Trotter – Owner & Jack-of-All-Trades

    I’m proud to run S.A Trotters alongside my father, continuing the family tradition of service and quality.

    I grew up in this business, learning the ropes from him, and now manage the day-to-day operations.

    From helping customers find the right tools to sweeping the floors, I take pride in every aspect of the store.


  • Josh Douglas – Calor Gas Specialist

    Josh is our go-to guy for anything Calor Gas. Whether you need gas for heating, a BBQ, or appliances, Josh ensures it’s ready and reliable.

    Known for his friendly service, he makes sure all gas-related needs are handled with care.


  • Our Small Engine Mechanic – The Lawn Mower Whisperer

    Behind the scenes, our small engine mechanic keeps things running smoothly.

    From lawnmowers to chainsaws, his years of experience mean your tools are in expert hands when they need repairs.

    He may prefer to stay out of the spotlight, but his work speaks for itself.
