ABOUT THE COMPANY

It is six years since I wrote my original "About John" and perhaps it is about time I brought it up to date.

I have been selling antique grandfather clocks on a full time basis now for thirty Six years( I also sell a selection of fine quality Wall clocks, Mantel clocks and Barometers) and I have enjoyed and still enjoy every minute of it. I strive to offer my customers the very best of service and have not added "A Tradition of Excellence" to my company heading without it being hard earned. I offer a worldwide distribution service and in addition to a one year guarantee, free delivery and set up of a grandfather clock, to any destination in the UK.

I am most discerning about which clocks I purchase, and am proud of the condition in which they are presented for sale. My case polisher is as good as they come and loves working with grandfather clocks. My workshop manager, who is in charge of movement restoration, has been with me for all thirty six years. Originally, a Precision Engineer, there is no task too difficult for him to undertake. Sometimes, to me, his skill is almost magical. I, myself, am available to be contacted for any sale or after sale service, advice or even just a chat, 7 days a week.

What are my aspirations? I will endeavour each and every day to improve my business wherever and whenever I can and earn even further, the respect of my customers and my peers. My good lady wife, Tanya, who is a wonderful help to me, makes sure that everything I do is at the highest level and that is the level I will continue to maintain.
