G Gay & Co Mitre 10

G Gay & Co Mitre 10 Long term local family company providing timber, hardware & tools for the trade & home owner. Homewares, paint, outdoor furniture and a great plant nursery too

Godfrey (Gough) Gay established G. Gay & Co in Ballarat in 1918 with Bill Valpied and George Norris. In 1918 mining was a declining industry and the business sold second hand mining equipment and building supplies. The business grew steadily during the 1920s and in 1932 Gough's son Ed joined the firm at about the time they expanded to include new building materials. The third generation, Rebecca a

nd Jim joined in the 1950s when there were still restrictions on product availability following WW11. All materials came to Ballarat via rail until the late 1960s and all loading and unloading was done by hand. Trading was transferred to a new large site in Howitt St Wendouree in 1977 - the largest timber & hardware store in Ballarat. Fourth generation David and Ross came to the company and helped Dad Jim set up a second store in Gillies St Sth in 1991.
2001 saw Jim retire and the company purchase Ballarat Building Supplies in Main Rd. The latest evolution for the family company was a joint venture with Mitre10 and the purchase of a very large facility at 55 Albert St Sebastopol in 2014. Overall there are now about 100 great, "Mighty Helpful" staff ready with practical advice for you. Drop in to say hello and to look over our great range from building supplies to plants in the Nursery.
