20/02/2025 H W Wilson Limited celebrates 95 years as a Limited Company today, Thursday 20 February 2025, and we could think of nothing better than to have the Wilson Family, past and present, gather this morning at our favourite venue, Thurrock Garden Centre. The celebratory breakfast was hosted by H W Wilson’s Managing Director, Peter Wiffen, who asked John Callison, who has been with the company an incredible 47 years, to cut the Anniversary cake. H W Wilson has existed longer – perhaps even for a Century – but its actual origins remain hazy, so it has tended to acknowledge its incorporation as a Limited Company and has been building on its reputation since 1930. Peter Wiffen: “H W Wilson has reached this milestone by remaining true to the vision established by its founder, Henry Wilson, who wanted to create a quality building service using a local workforce. The last five years have been challenging to say the least, with Covid-19, but that was one of many storms the company has weathered over the decades. I remain very proud of how everyone here rallied during those difficult months as we continued to work throughout and continued to deliver quality projects on time and on budget. It is a privilege to lead H W Wilson. It is a proud company that has never forgotten its roots nor its traditional values of providing the highest quality service by using local and experienced tradesmen and efficient management. The loyalty displayed by the team – the majority started as apprentices – is a testament to how valued H W Wilson is, and you could ask for no better tribute!” #loveconstruction #ccs #thurrockgardencentre
