OUR HISTORY

Trade Systems was first established in Surbiton, Surrey by founding Director Ernest Goodall. An electrician by trade and a love for gadgets saw Ernie open Electronics store, E.J. Goodall & Co. Ltd, selling early televisions and radios.

After establishing the Electronics store in 1955, Ernie spotted a gap in the market and expanded into the television stand manufacturing business. Ernie and his wife Mary Goodall then set up another business in the form of a local convenience store.

OPENING A NEW STORE

During this period Ernie realised how difficult it was to source supplies for his businesses and the brainchild for Trade Systems was born. Ernie opened the first Trade Systems store in Surbiton in 1969.

Ernie’s son Brian joined the company full time from leaving school. At the tender age of 18, Brian set-up his own Trade Systems store in Kingston in 1972.

This store soon out grew its Surbiton original location and the decision was taken to relocate the company in its entirety to the Kingston premises.

THE COMPANY GROWS

The family continued to grow the company selling quality storage equipment and shop fitting products through the Kingston showrooms.

Brian’s brother in-law Mike Payne joined the company in 1982 and soon grew through the ranks to become the company’s General Manager.
