Started by Nigel and his wife Judy, the business had humble beginnings down on the shores of Lake Alexandrina at Milang.

Starting out doing mechanical repairs of various nature it wasn’t long before Nigel took on franchises from John Shearer, Horwood Bagshaw and later Ford Tractors. For what was becoming an increasingly growing business due to Nigel’s uncompromising attitude to customer service, it wasn’t long before the business had outgrown its surroundings at Milang.

In 1992 the business moved to where it is located today at Milnes Road, Strathalbyn, where it continues to grow and satisfy our customer’s ever-changing needs. Over the years many more franchises have been added to the ND & JA Giles banner to cater for the diverse needs of the district’s land use. In addition there has been the purchase of land across the road from the main site that is now dedicated to our extensive range of Used machinery.

After working in the business for over 20 years, Nathan Duffield, the son in law of Nigel Giles, and his young family took ownership of the business in 2022. Nigel is still heavily involved with sales however Nathan has taken the reins and is steering the business to further success through his passion and commitment to the industry and business that he is so proudly associated with.

With land uses throughout the Fleurieu Peninsula, Adelaide Hills and Lower Murray River districts including broadacre, hay, dairy, market gardening, viticulture and horticulture, diversity is at the forefront of everything we do. With the backing and support of all our suppliers and the willingness and work ethics of Nathan & Nigel, and the team at N.D. & J.A. Giles, we believe there is no bridge we wouldn’t cross to satisfy our customers, their needs and our relationship with each other and the land.
