Today we remember the sailors, soldiers and airmen involved in the Normandy invasion on 6 June 1944, D-day. The largest seaboard invasion in history with over 130,000 troops landing on the shores which was the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe.

This photo is of a list of employees, who were serving during WWII, which we have proudly displayed in our staff room. Slightly discoloured as it was written over 80 years ago.

At a time when we’re celebrating 170 years, moments like this reminds us how truly humbled we all are by the sacrifices made by people so close.

Lest We Forget

04/06/2024

As we celebrate our 170th birthday we have produced a video to commemorate this very special occasion for our independent family run business.

Our customers support is much valued and appreciated, and we thank them greatly for their custom today, tomorrow, or indeed over the past decades!
