Browns
of Wem began life as Browns of Whixall with the late Mr
H C Brown and his wife, Dorothy, when they started trading from
their small holding at Four Lane Ends, Whixall just after the
second world war. He bought and dismantled air raid shelters
from the big cities, brought them back to Whixall and converted
them into small farm buildings for reselling at local markets. |

The
business grew greatly in the late 1950’s and 1960’s
supplying timber poultry sheds. There were over 200 employees
and a fleet of 15 lorries making us the biggest in the United
Kingdom. |

In
the mid 1960’s the small steel shop was built and steel
framed buildings started to roll off the production line. In
those days all the materials and sheeting came through the yard
and the major problem that suppliers had was trying to find
us. It was because of this that the name was changed to Browns
of Wem Limited. |
