BLOOMFIELDS HORSEBOXES LIMITED

What BLOOMFIELDS HORSEBOXES LIMITED does

Bloomfields Horseboxes Limited is a UK-based manufacturer of bespoke horseboxes, founded in 2005 by Dean Moody and operating from a 44,000 square foot purpose-built factory on a two-acre site in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The company hand-builds a 14-model portfolio across three weight classes — 3.5T to 5T light commercial (Legacy S/SL/SLE, Pro Lite, Professional, Raceline Professional, Eventer Compact through 5T XL), 7.2T (BXL 72, BXL 72 S), and HGV (BXL 75/100) — on chassis platforms supplied by Iveco, Renault Trucks, Stellantis (Fiat/Peugeot/Vauxhall/Citroen) and Nissan, with which the company holds audited OEM approvals including Iveco Associated Bodybuilder Gold Status and sole-UK Renault Trucks approval.

The underlying technology stack centres on a proprietary composite panel system — 25mm high-density woven fibreglass thermally bonded to a honeycomb core, with captive sill sections producing a monocoque structure — and an in-house passenger safety cell of more than 20 metres of 50mm aluminium box section over 5 metres of weld, independently tested by Manchester Metropolitan University's STATUS facility to over four times ISO 27956:2009. CNC machining (large-bed router, double-headed mitre saw, 4-axis vertical spindle) supports precision panel production, with each vehicle passing a 160–260 point quality inspection; VCA European Type Approval 2007/46/EC and FTA/DEFRA certification enable cross-European sale without further testing.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-off bespoke orders priced between £54,113 (Legacy S) and £84,495+ (Eventer 5T), supplemented by finance-broker commission via First Equine Funding, demonstrator/pre-owned sales, branded merchandise and sister-company hire through Bloomfields Horse Taxis. Distribution combines direct factory sales (with active encouragement of factory tours across four open build bays) with a UK and European distributor network and direct exports to Japan and Australia via an in-house homologation department. Customers span professional competitive riders, hobby riders, the racehorse industry and commercial transporters, with targeted entry into the luxury segment through the 2024 Holland Cooper x Bloomfields collaboration.
