MUIRS RADIATORS GORE

In 1952 Bert and Megan Muir started Muirs Radiators in a lean-to behind their house on Irwell Street in Gore.

They then built a shed beside the house and as the business grew, they rebuilt the shed into a concrete block workshop where they worked until the late 1970’s when Bert built a bigger workshop at their current location in Gore’s Gorton Street.

Bert ran the workshop and Megan worked on the bench fixing radiators, unheard of back in the ‘50’s. Their son Bruce eventually took over the business and in 1987 was joined by classic car enthusiastic Malcolm Brown.

Malcolm and his wife Jo purchased the business in 2007 and in keeping with company tradition continue to have females working on the bench, currently employing two women in their Gore workshop. An executive member of Gore’s MTA, Malcolm is a highly skilled radiator expert with a reputation for producing top quality products, delivering quality craftsmanship and providing exceptional service.

Malcolm and Jo have three children and two grandchildren. They enjoy family gatherings and the great outdoors and Malcolm and his son are currently restoring an EK Holden.

Firm believers in equal opportunities, Muirs Radiators often provide work for people who might otherwise be overlooked in the job market. These people have limited skill levels and the Muirs team help to develop these and gain more knowledge in the industry.
