Reflections on
1937 - 2015
Cornwall is littered with mining relics that date back hundreds of years. Even before they began to fill the skyline, Cornish miners burrowed underground to remove the precious ore that provided the wealth and prosperity that helped to create this nation. The story of Teagle Machinery Ltd is out of the same mould, an inventive and industrious business that has flown the flag, metaphorically and literally, for Cornwall. In no small way, the Teagle family have upheld the pioneering tradition of Cornwall and we make no apologies for talking of Tom Teagle as a latter-day Richard Trevithick, someone who perceived a need and who set about fulfilling it. Without question Tom was one of Cornwall’s foremost inventors whose natural talent started a company of which Cornwall should be proud.
