MEET THE FAMILY

Get to know us

We’ve been family run since 1949, when we were first founded by Wilfred Chippindale, now, with an extra 120 staff in the team; we still keep those same family values at the heart of how we do business.

Today the company is run by Nigel and Peter Chippindale, who take pride in having a hands-on day-to-day role in the business, getting to know our customer’s needs and making you feel as much a part of the team as us.

Peter took over from Gordon Chippindale in 1989 after finishing his engineering degree at Sheffield University, Nigel joined alongside Brian Chippindale in 1983 after completing his HND in Business Management. The two have grown to be a formidable team and have taken the company from strength to strength, earning multiple awards and building an enviable reputation for quality and customer care.
