History
Our business was founded in 1946 by William Lauderdale Senior, who started the business on Askew Road West, Teams, Gateshead. Over the years, the business grew, and in 1960, his son William joined the family business. In 1990, William Senior passed away, and his son Bill took over the business, which he ran alongside his wife Doris until 2014, when Bill sadly passed away. Today, William Robert Lauderdale, the grandson of the founder, is at the helm of the business, continuing the tradition of quality, courtesy, value, and respect for every family that we serve.
