Only tortoise perfection will suffice

Les White has meticulously cared for, and maintained, several colonies of differing species of tortoise within the UK since the early 1970's. In the spring of 2002 Les turned this lifelong hobby into a full time business venture. Careful expansion and prudent investment over the last few years has seen The Tortoise Shop grow into the UK's market leader in tortoise breeding, retailing, tortoise product design and in-house manufacturing. In September 2007 Les White Jnr officially retired, handing the running of the company over to it's current directors. However, unlike most large companies The Tortoise Shop still prides itself in operating a very personal and friendly service - putting customers and their tortoises first!

'I have worked closely with The Tortoise Shop over the last few years and can honestly say that their levels of dedication, care and attention towards their tortoises is as high as I have found'
