Welcome to the 'about
us' section of plummer.co.uk. Although B Plummer & Son now
solely concentrate on communication consoles we have been
involved within the motor industry for many years. We give
you this page in a bid to give you a better idea about the
company, its background, our values and a bigger picture of
the company that you are thinking of doing business with.

The company was originally
founded in 1960 serving the car and commercial industry in
accident and repair. We started off by offering our services
for minor scratches, major car repairs and total vehicle
refinishing.
After we quickly built up
our trusted reputation this soon progressed to purchasing a
commercial vehicle coach building company . From there on we
built flat wooden bodies to carry produce and general
building material cargo. Our business then spiralled on to
become a renowned and well respected builder for livestock
containers, horse boxes and mobile shops through out the
country, this carried on all the way through the 1960's.

As time went on and
technologies changed B Plummer & Son changed with it. Along
came the 1970's which brought the time of chassis jigs and
spray ovens. With this new technology evolving it prompted
us to move to a larger, newer and more capable site. Vehicle
bodybuilding became the new name for coach building and with
this came the new types of vehicles to build. In a similar
light to what modern vehicles are equipped with today we
built refrigerated bodies, curtain siders, GRP boxes and
drop sides. We repaired, refurbished, and built many of
these types of bodies for large well known companies in East
Anglia and the rest of the UK. This carried on through to
the 80's and early-mid 90's.

By the time we were well
into the 90's the original founder of the company retired.
After offering an excellent deal to his son who at that time
was working as a manager in the company a new director was
born. This prompted the change in direction that we see
today. With mobile phones being one of the largest growing
markets in the world the new director realised that there
was a growing need for a company to offer some sort of
solution for motorists and their new technology. With high
quality products that suited the customers requirements,
great customer service and an ever increasing demand saw B
Plummer & Son grow into the company that it is today.
The company has very
recently welcomed another member of the Plummer family into
the business - which means that we are now in the third
generation. The new member of the company brings with him as
much enthusiasm and energy that came from the previous
generations. Therefore, the company is looking stronger
every day and we look forward to obtaining the Plummer
reputation and keeping a strong relationship with all of our
customers, old and new.

We are now one of the most
respected companies in the manufacturer and retail of
communication console systems around the world. If you have
any queries regarding any of our services we will be most
happy to help in any way we can. We like to think that we
are an old company with old fashion values, but at the same
time a company that keeps with the the times and the new
technology that comes with it.
B Plummer & Son.
