The business was initially established in the small Mid Somerset City of Wells in 1925 by Robert Tincknell to meet the needs of the local farming community for general blacksmithing and ironmongery products. By 1935 when Frank Tincknell joined his father as a partner of R Tincknell & Son, the business had grown steadily and employed 12 people trading and repairing agricultural machinery.
