Exmoor Trim: A Dedication to Quality Parts for Land Rover Marques

Welcome to Exmoor Trim, the UK-based company developing and manufacturing trim parts for the Land Rover market, with a passion for quality at the heart of what they do.

Exmoor Trim was originally founded by Julian Gostling in the mid-1990s and became a limited company in 2002. Julian is the third generation of the Gostling family to work with Land Rovers. In 1946, Julian’s grandfather, Bert Gostling, joined Land Rover as employee number 11, part of the original development team. Bert played a significant role in the evolution of the Series 1 vehicle, and his legacy continued with his son Lew, who worked in Land Rover’s Experimental Trim department.

Lew was instrumental in developing new materials and seat designs for various models, including the Range Rover Classic's famous "Kit Kat" seats. When Lew eventually transitioned into retirement, he established Trakkers, a business that manufactured canvas hoods—a product Julian would later take over and transform into Exmoor Trim.

The company relocated to Luxborough, Exmoor, and subsequently expanded its production to a purpose-built factory in Williton, Somerset. Over the last two decades, the business has grown rapidly, becoming renowned for producing high-quality trim parts and seats for Land Rover enthusiasts worldwide.

Employee ownership has fostered a positive culture within the company, empowering each team member to contribute to the business's continued success. As a result, Exmoor Trim has become one of the largest employers in the area, maintaining its reputation for precision and craftsmanship.
