Quality You Can Trust, Built to Last
Osborne Motor Bodies is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality. We use only the finest materials and construction techniques, ensuring your vehicle bodywork withstands the rigours of daily use.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Our story began in 1920 when Rex William Osborne, a skilled carpenter, built his first removable container for a local butcher's car. Over the decades, we have evolved from coachbuilders using wood to industry leaders in steel and aluminium construction.
One thing has remained constant through it all: our dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Our team of highly skilled and experienced design engineers and vehicle technicians will go out of our way to deliver an outstanding service.
From Milk Floats to Modern Marvels
Rex's son, Tony Osborne, revolutionised the dairy industry with his innovative milk float designs. Today, we offer a comprehensive range of insulated and refrigerated vehicles while still honouring the tradition of delivering top-quality, thoughtful, bespoke solutions.
Osborne Motor Bodies offers a diverse range of commercial vehicle solutions to cater to your specific needs, from utility conversions and glass carriers to specialist dairy and milk float bodies.
