Everyone knows the name Ison and Co, whether they are in the building trade or not.
This family-owned and operated independent store was established in 1917 in Nowra from humble beginnings with just a sawmill and two horse-drawn carts, in Bridge Road, Nowra.
Since this time the Ison family has continually owned and operated the hardware store and over the past 100 years have expanded to four convenient locations which stock quality products.
There is an Isons in the centre of Nowra which caters for a wide population of surrounding growth areas north of the Shoalhaven and from within the CBD.
The south Nowra store, which is the biggest of the four stores, is situated on the outskirts of Nowra and provides most of the areas south, east and west of the Shoalhaven. The majority of the deliveries are from this store and they also stock the sand, soil and gravel products. There are two other stores, one in Sanctuary Point and one in Huskisson.
Ison and Co has come a long way since its first days as a family business helping tradesmen with timber supplies. Now having expanded from stocking traditional timber, hardware and building products, Isons offer a wide range of gas supplies, welding supplies, sand, soil and gravel products.
Any other products that are not in stock can be sourced for customers. All products are available for pick-up or delivery.
Shoalhaven Originals is sponsored by the following businesses. Click the link to learn more:
In addition to products, Ison and Co also operates a crane, truck, tilt-tray, loader and cherry-picker hire business.
The business employs 90 permanent staff across all their stores with a team of 10 casuals to back them up. From the many sales assistants to truck drivers, yard hands, crane operators, administrative staff and IT, accounts, payroll, WHS, HR, managers and directors, it’s one big happy team at Ison and Co.
At Ison and Co, staff are known for their personalised service. Their friendly team has outstanding product knowledge and they offer a regular, reliable delivery service.
For many years Ison and Co has supported the local community and are members of local service clubs such as Lions, and has sponsored Relay For Life for the past 15 years.
The team at Ison and Co also donate to local organisations, such as the Jervis Bay Community and Men’s Shed. They support Shoalhaven Basketball Association as well as the Glen McPherson memorial annual golf day, which they have sponsored for 22 years. Several employees are members of the Nowra Fire Brigade.
It’s this commitment to their own community and the hard-working team at Ison and Co that make them the name in hardware across the region.
