Western Supply Codes

Western Supply was established in 1965 by Acky Callaway & Den Dagley. The two tradesmen spotting a gap in the market, bought a field in the village, and decided to sell some of the building materials they used during their working week, at the weekends. This was mainly second-hand timber, or basically anything they believed would return a profit.

It proved to be a shrewd move as the popularity of their new business quickly grew; leaving them at a crossroads. With working 7 days a week on two businesses being unfeasible, they had to decide between staying as full-time tradesmen, or expanding their new reclamation venture. They chose the latter; and that was the start of Western Supply the Builders Merchants!

Over the years the company continued to grow and when Den decided to retire, Acky's son Mike - who had been working for the company for several years at this time - bought Den's share of the business. Mike and Acky worked happily in partnership for many years.
