The company offered a motorcycle with a two-speed gear and a a Clement-Garrard engine. Fitted into strengthened cycle parts, the machine would have been assembled to meet local demand. By 1901 Webb had built around 50 motor cycles.
In 1903 he built a motor car of his own design using a single cylinder low tension ignition, water cooled engine from Simmons and Co. He also established the Monmouth Motor Company in Priory Street Monmouth, and along with the Priory Street garage and factory, he had a retail cycle business in Agincourt Square, Monmouth.
George Webb lived on the Hendre Estate where he was in charge of the vehicles of Lord Llangattock, the father of the Hon. C. S. Rolls of Rolls-Royce, so the Ganarew company's claim to have supplied a machine to the father of C. S. Rolls is likely true.
