From the administrators' statement
Creditors should note that, unless otherwise stated, this section of my proposals has been prepared based on information provided to me by the Directors of the Company and not from our personal knowledge as Joint Administrators.
Perkins Stockwell & Co Ltd is currently directed by John Stockwell and his Nephew Lee Goodall. The origins of the Company stretch back to the eighteenth century and the Directors have succeeded in tracing the business’s history back to circa 1805. The Company, then known as H Measures, traded through the nineteenth century under various names and by 1881 went by the name of Perkins, Long & Tyler. In 1904 Mr Francis Stockwell, John’s Grandfather, was made partner in the Company which then changed its name to Perkins Neale & Stockwell and thus started the family’s long association with the firm. By 1926 the Company had split and Stockwell & Son was formed by John’s Father and Grandfather.
At the end of the Second World War, when John’s father and Mr Perkins were de-mobilised from the army in 1947, it was decided to bring the two halves of the Company back together and rename it Perkins Stockwell & Co Ltd. The name has remained ever since.
