Donald Ward founded TOG24 UK in West Yorkshire in 1958. Ward spent time as an apprentice working on textile shop equipment during the 1950’s and taught himself enough to be able to eventually open his own business. After more than six decades of existence, TOG24 UK is still proudly based in Spen Vale Mills in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire. The only thing that has really changed is the wide array of goods offered by the company.
