1903

Percy W Stephenson opens a hardware store in Darlington, laying the foundations for a business rooted in quality and service.

1940s

Post-war demand sees the business expand into joinery, architectural ironmongery and ceramics, building the skills and specialisms that still define us today.

Shop Front 2

1970

As demand grew, we moved into new premises across two sites, and branched into ceramics, architectural ironmongery and joinery services – which eventually led to us supplying kitchen componentry and furniture.

Main

1980s

PWS Distributors is established, supplying kitchen componentry to a growing trade market and forging strong European manufacturing partnerships.
