As Girovac moves into its fifth decade of operation, we remain proud of our legacy – and excited about what’s ahead.

From our earliest days, Girovac has always stood for quality, reliability, and personal service. That ethos continues, even as we go through a time of transition.

Honouring Our Roots

We were deeply saddened by the passing of Roger Lee, one of Girovac’s original driving forces, and for many, the face of Girovac through the years. His contribution to the company – and the industry as a whole – leaves a lasting legacy.

Gill, his wife,  remains at the helm and continues to be the best person to speak to about anything related to accounts and operations. Her experience, attention to detail and longstanding customer relationships are part of what makes Girovac trusted by so many.

Evolving for the Future

We’re delighted to share that Gareth, Gill and Roger’s son – who has grown up around the business for many years – has now stepped into a full-time position. Gareth is now your main point of contact for all new enquiries, quotes, and installations. He brings deep product knowledge and a solutions-led approach that customers will already recognise.

Martin Cox has recently joined the team to help shape our eCommerce and marketing strategy. With experience growing B2B brands and supporting international sales, Martin will be working behind the scenes to strengthen how we show up – both online and in the market.

Peter Fox has moved on from the business.

What’s Next?

We’ll shortly be introducing some new product ranges, alongside the continuation of partnerships with trusted colleagues and manufacturers around the world – including our long-standing collaboration with MIL’S vacuum technologies.

Our mission remains the same: to provide high-quality vacuum solutions with personal, dependable service that stands the test of time.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Girovac and MIL’S: A Partnership Built on Quality, Trust, and Innovation

At Girovac, we’re proud to continue our longstanding partnership with MIL’S – a company whose dedication to precision, reliability, and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with our own values.

“MIL’S pumps are the kind of equipment we can recommend without hesitation – robust, reliable, and built with care. It’s rare to find a partner so consistent in both product and principle.”
