About Southern Trailers!

After six extensive research visits to New Zealand over the last 15 years, Hefin and Christine have chosen Cambridge in the Waikato as home and a base for their trailer business.


Hefin was brought up on a North Wales sheep farm, coincidentally in the next village to where Ifor Williams commenced his trailer business, "my father knew Ifor from the outset of his trailer manufacturing, when he used his livestock trailers to take sheep from farm to market".

Hefin has been in business in the UK for over 35 years buying and selling farm tractors and earth moving equipment, using the Ifor Williams range of trailers for this purpose. Over the years he has also been heavily involved in the purchasing and retail of large commercial trailers and his company is the No. 1 used trailer sales operator in the UK today www.hlldavies.co.uk.

Christine, brought up on the Wirral peninsular in Heswall, was employed by Midland Bank/HSBC for many years before aiding Hefin 'hands on' with his business enterprises.

We believe there is a need in New Zealand for such high quality products as the Ifor Williams horse floats and commercial trailers imported direct from the UK – we have a large selection in stock now.

Hefin and Christine are available to offer personal advice and support – to be successful we know that the Customer is No. 1 in our approach to business. With Hefin's engineering skills and his 'hands on' approach he can explain the benefits of the Ifor Williams manufacturing technology over anything else on the market in NZ.

“As we are 100% confident of the product, we are able to offer a very attractive re-sale value if and when a customer wishes to sell outright or part exchange for another trailer, regardless of age.” This approach has greatly contributed to the success story of the Ifor Williams range of trailers in Europe – where it is the leading brand of trailer.

As part of our service we would be glad to assist in selling your existing trailer on your behalf, at no cost, if and when you are interested in purchasing a replacement.
