James Smith & Co

Trusted for 10 years

James Smith & Co was originally founded by the late James
Smith in 1950 who carried out fencing and general agricultural construction work. The company successfully traded this way
for about 30 years employing only five or six people.

The company is now owned by Ian Smith, son of the late
James Smith, and his wife Lee. Ian first joined his father in business in 1978 where he worked for 12 years as a fencer
before gradually expanding the company into one of the largest fencing suppliers in the country.

Ian believes that the success of James Smith & Co today is
partly due to the time he spent as a fencer.
A broad knowledge of both the industry and materials when
dealing with customers is invaluable and allows enquiries to
be dealt with on a much more personal level.

James Smith & Co pride themselves on continuously offering
an efficient no-nonsense service whether dealing with a major agricultural contract or a member of the public looking to build
a garden fence.
