About Country Co

Our History

Countryco was established in 1980 as a local CRT store. Greg Hardgrave along with his son Mick Hardgrave acquired the business in 2005. They continued operating under the CRT banner and have been successfully operating since. In 2019 the opportunity arose to expand and they opened a True Value Hardware (an IHG subsidiary) in addition to the CRT Store. 

With the buying power of the two groups, Countryco can offer a comprehensive and competitive range of Agribusiness, Mining and Hardware products.  We strive to cater to specific local needs and offer a wide range of products to suit everyday jobs and applications.  We strive to have the right products to get the job done and this contributes to our reputation for consistent service and reliability.
