The organ at St. Mary and All Saints' Church, Great Budworth, restored by Goetze and Gwynn

The company was established in 1980 by Martin Goetze and Dominic Gwynn. Initially located in Northampton, the company relocated in 1985 to the Welbeck Estate near Worksop in north Nottinghamshire. A third partner, Edward Bennett, joined in 1985.

The company has produced three Tudor organs based on the remains of a Tudor organ soundboard discovered in 1977 in a farm in Wetheringsett, Stowmarket, Suffolk.

They have also produced several church organs, and restored others including that for the church of St Helen's Bishopsgate which was damaged by a terrorist bomb attack.
