Lea Valley Narrowboat Co. Ltd was formed in 1974 by two canal enthusiasts, Pat and John Milton. The company's foundations and their home were soon established on the River Lea in Hertfordshire, where they have remained until the present day, with their daughter, Nicola and son-in-law, Mark now heading up the business as John and Pat enjoy their retirement spending their time between Scotland and Hertfordshire.
Initially, the main business of the company was operating passenger boat trips aboard the ex FMC Josher ‘Holland’ but, over the following years the business expanded to include hire boats, fit outs and repair work, retail sales, boat brokerage and two marinas. John and Pat remain canal enthusiasts and still spend a lot of their leisure time on their own narrowboat.
