Our story began in 1985 when John Wray took over the family farm, dedicating himself to dairy farming to provide for his family and keep the farm thriving.
In 1990, John had a new idea and bought his first Aga which he then reconditioned before selling it, gradually transforming this venture into a successful business. Despite the challenges, John's tenacity over the obstacles brought John Wray Country Stoves into being.
John made sure the firm stayed a family-run business in 2008 when his daughter Katie and son-in-law Stuart joined. Working out of the family farm in Catterick Village, close to the Yorkshire Dales, they kept growing and expanding together until relocating to larger premises in 2016.
John Wray Range Cookers was launched in the summer of 2024 to align Aga, Bertazonni and Smeg range cookers while John Wray Country Stoves website focus on wood burning stoves.
Now, John is enjoying a well-earned retirement while Stuart oversees the company with a committed staff. We are quite proud of our accomplishments and very appreciative of our devoted clients for their help along the road.
