OUR HISTORY -160 years of Johnson Poole & Bloomer
|
|
Our story is one of early pioneers with enthusiasm and imagination, of triumphs and the occasional disaster, of success and innovation. The firm was created 160 years ago when Henry Johnson of Dudley set himself up in business on his 21st birthday, 24th January 1844. The very first entry in his diary records that he had just finished five long years of apprenticeship as a land and mine surveyor, 'The first year served for nothing and the remaining four at 10 shillings per week payable to my father'! Within days he was hard at work for numerous clients, and from then on he never looked back, taking on assistants to cope with an increasing workload. Through successive generations of partners, directors and skilled staff the firm has sought to maintain Henry Johnson's high reputation and professional values. |
