One of the UK�s oldest established specialist glazing contractors is appealing to FGI readers in a bid to help it find some of the missing pieces in its 175-year history.
Leicester-based glazing, roofing and plumbing specialist Norman & Underwood, which began trading in 1825, is hoping that readers with long standing trade connections may be able to provide photographic and written material to help chronicle its past.
�We would like to gather as much archive material as we can on the company in time for our official anniversary celebrations in September,� says Norman & Underwood Director, Tony Youngjohns.
�We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who might have any memorabilia relating to Norman & Underwood, or from people who have anecdotal stories about the company, or who have used our services.�
Norman & Underwood hope to use any material donated or loaned as part of a visual history of the company, which will be on display throughout its anniversary celebrations.
�The fact that Norman & Underwood has operated from the same site in central Leicester for nearly two hundred years makes it extremely unusual by today�s standards,� says Tony. �We hope that a few readers will have information and memories to share with us during this anniversary year.�
Anyone who has any information to offer on the history of Norman & Underwood should contact Tony Youngjohns on (0116) 251 5000.
