Clifford Powell has a long history dating back to 1891 when it began business as W.L Powell Saddlery. In 1915 it was taken over by
Q.A Powell and it continued to operated as a saddlery until the late 1940’s when Clifford Powell took over and ran it as a Motor Trimmer
until 1978. It was then sold to Horrie Nowland who continued to trade as Clifford Powell as did Paul Taliana when he purchased the business
in 1987.

In 1993 Paul Taliana had pushed Clifford Powell to near its peak and opened a second branch in Alexandria to release pressure
off the Darlinghurst workshop. Four years later he decided to consolidate his efforts back into the original workshop and sell
off the Alexandria shop.

Clifford Powell supplies luxury leather interiors to the same specifications as to factory leather, for considerable less then you might expect to pay. It's the smart alternative to factory fitted leather; all the prestige and good looks but with no compromise on quality.

Mark Bonello who had apprenticed under Paul purchased the business and Sydney Motor Trimmers was created in 1997. Clifford Powell later then moved to a new premises in Botany and continued until in late 2004 Paul Taliana and Mark Bonello decided to merge the two companies back together operating as Sydney Motor Trimmers and Clifford Powell Motor Trimmers from the one location in Alexandria.
