Company profile

History - Over a hundred years experience

E.H. Russell & Company Ltd. was established in 1905 by Ernest H. Russell who ran the business so that his two sons would take over from him.

Sadly they both died in the Second World War and Mr. Russell sold it as a going concern to Mr. John (Jack) Breakwell in 1948.

In 1954 the company was incorporated as a limited company. More fortuitously for Jack Breakwell his two sons, John and Neil, joined him in the business in the early 1960's.

The two sons started working life on the shop floor and worked their way up to Commercial Director and Managing Director respectively.

John's son Ian joined the company in 1984, again on the shop floor, and is now Production Director. With John's recent retirement, Ian and Neil are carrying on the Breakwell family tradition into the 21st century.
