COMPANY HISTORY Robert Pochin Ltd has a long history of trading and serving communities, across the East Midlands. Founded in 1861 by Ironmonger Robert Pochin Senior, the business was developed by Robert and his four sons.
Throughout the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century the shop at 32 Granby Street, Leicester became famous for selling a dynamic and innovative range of quality hardware and household products.
The development of exciting new markets, particularly domestic cooking ranges and heating equipment, led to dramatic expansion and the company selling direct to builders, plumbers, and heating engineers whilst continuing to serve the consumer. As a result Robert Pochin is proud to be one of the very few independent AGA distributors to have maintained its status from appointment in the early 1930’s.
The present Managing Director is Mr David Pochin, the sixth generation to lead the business forward.
Today Robert Pochin Ltd has 3 dedicated AGA showrooms at St Georges Way in Leicester, Long Row in Oakham and Riverside in Market Harborough. Each showroom displays an inspirational range of AGA Rayburn cookers and we are committed to supplying the right appliance that will meet the individual lifestyle requirements of our clients
