Welcome to the website of W. M. Granger & Son (Leics) Ltd.

The family firm of Wm Granger & Son (Leicester) Ltd. goes back to the 1880’s When William Granger who kept a public House called ‘The Freemason’s Arms’ in Braunstone Gate Leicester started making mops to satisfy a local demand.Thus Granger’s early association with the brewery trade began.

This scope widened over the years taking in various industries and customers, although at that time only ‘spike mops’ were on offer. As time went by despite various ups & downs and different locations in the city the range widened to include Socket Mops, Floor Polishing Mops and Kentucky Mops.

By the early 1950’s a specialised range of Textiles, Brushware Ropes and Twines along with doormats were complimenting the range. A fire in the mid 1960’s destroyed one of the company’s site’s in Princess Road. As a result the premises in Albion St. were purchased, where the company stayed for some 40 years.

In 2001 another re-location was necessary and the business moved to its present Lunsford Road site These larger more modern premises gave rise to further expansion of products were introduced.

Today the company continues to expand its range while still retaining its original roots, of mop manufacturing.
