About this company

Mr Bullen built up a reputation for thoroughness, high quality of workmanship and reliability, and these attributes helped him to expand his business, which was incorporated in 1925. It remained principally a small jobbing family business but demand for its services was such that it quickly grew and developed a high quality joinery manufacturing brand. On the 1st July 1935 R G Carter Limited acquired the business, this enabled the company to continue to develop with a significant parent providing financial security and sustainability.
