In the summer of 1946, Harris & Partington an old firm of Cabinet Makers and Undertakers were looking to take on an apprentice Cabinet Maker and applicants were told to turn up for interviews on Monday morning. Having just turned 14, an enterprising George Pearce had heard about the vacancy and thought that if he turned up on Saturday morning prior to the Monday, the Manager might just think he had a bit of initiative!
His efforts were rewarded with a job and 6 years later, after serving his apprenticeship he spent 2 years in Germany with the Royal Engineers completing his national service in 1952. The Business continued to build strong relationships working for Local Breweries such as Daniel Thwaites & Matthew Brown (Lion) as well as many Domestic Clients.
In 1982 a larger premises with 2 Joinery Workshops was purchased on Weir Street, Blackburn at which point two of his Sons (both having served their time as Joiners) were made partners in the firm and the decision was made to change the trading name to George Pearce & Sons.
