    About Us

    History and Background

     Strand Hardware was founded in November 1972, by Brian Jolly. Originally called Peel Street Hardware and located in Peel Street, Port Elizabeth CBD, it occupied a mere 160 m2 at the time. 

     

    In 1995, Brian Jolly changed the name of his business to Strand Hardware, due to its then location in - Strand Street, Port Elizabeth. 

     

    The business grew steadily which required moving into larger premises three times over the years. What started as a retail operation has now evolved into three sectors. These are Wholesale & Retail, the Board Centre, and the Service Department.  

     

    The introduction of a web presence in 2006 added a new dimension to the business. 

     

    In 2013, Brian Jolly handed over the reins to Stuart Keil, who purchased the business with the intention to continue to grow, grow and grow!
