Shirenewton for all things gliding

Shirenewton is dedicated to the very best in gliding. We make, maintain and repair some of the best trailers in the UK with fully galvanised chassis and superb internal fittings. All our trailers fully meet the latest European technical specifications and UK legal requirements.

Run by Iain Evans, an enthusiastic competition pilot and qualified inspector, Shirenewton has a well deserved reputation for excellence and value for money. Based near Ledbury in Herefordshire there is easy access from the motorway system to all parts of the country, 2500sq feet of heated workshops, working to M3 standards, with extensive metal working, turning, glass fibre molding and painting facilities means everything you require for your glider, motor glider or trailer can be achieved under one roof.

Instrument panels can be made and altered to suit your needs and the very latest instrumentation plumbed and wired as required.

Specialist trailers for other uses such as microlights, balloons, kayaks and motorbikes are no problem - just say what you need and Shirenewton will build it. Call with your requirements for a free quote.
