History of STIHL SHOP Invercargill
Invercargill’s Stihl Shop has seen some changes over the years, with both its name and premises changing. Originally named John Bath 1985, the then 89 Deveron Street store was purchased by Don and Shirley Muirhead. Son Gill joined the team in 1995, and in 1997, the name changed to Mowerworld Invercargill Ltd. Three years later Don, Shirley, and Gill’s business moved to a larger building in Yarrow Street and in 2004 the family business became one of the first STIHL shops in New Zealand.
As the business continued to expand a larger building was required and the final move to the present shop at 120 Tay Street took place in 2010. In 2017, the Stihl brand was nationally recognised with the Consumers People’s Choice for Garden Equipment Retailer award. The next generation of the Muirhead family has now joined STIHL SHOP Invercargill with Gill’s daughter, Grace joining the team at STIHL SHOP Invercargill.
Over the years, STIHL SHOP Invercargill has supporting the local community by training apprentices and staff, with staff becoming qualified Small Engine Technicians and qualified STIHL Factory Service Technicians.
Good quality products and a high standard of workmanship by the technicians in the workshop are important principals of the STIHL SHOP Invercargill, and that still stands true to today.
