TF Watson produced his first sidecar in 1912 and the company has been manufacturing sidecars in the Heart of England ever since. Following a merger with the dynamic young Squire company in 1984 Watsonian Squire became the UK’s biggest manufacturer of sidecars.

Following the merger production of Squire sports sidecars and luggage trailers moved to the Watsonian factory, between the Cotswold market towns of Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh.

During the following decade the business exopanded further with the acquisition of HARGLO, specialists in European-made junior motorcycles.

Then in 1999 Watsonian Squire took over distribution of Royal Enfield motorcycles in the UK and rapidly re-established the historic brand in its spiritual home.
