Just after the Second World War had ended, Alec Roger Manley began a business as a general builder and joiner in Rodington, eleven years later in 1956 his son Alec John Manley joined the business and in December 1957 we became an incorporated company. Fred Manley became involved in 1984 with his son Thomas joining in 2016.

By the early 1960s, we’d left general building behind in favour of joinery manufacture and fitting. Now the world is a very different place, and in some ways we’re different, but the core values of honesty and quality which Alec held himself to in 1945 are still the same.
