About the Business

Over one hundred years in business mean that Twiggs has such experience and variety that it can confidently make its customers the offer: "Get it all in one call". The company has three main areas of business: stores, steel stockholding and fabrication. It operates from Bakewell Road, Matlock, in Derbyshire, an address it has a long association with, though not as long as the history of the company itself. The company's striking Twigg logo carries on the name of the man who founded it - William Twigg - a farmers son, born locally in 1881.

The company has a rich history in bespoke projects. For example in the 1920's William Twigg bought nearby Wingerworth Hall and took two years to demolish and recycle all the material. Another purchase was a North Wales mine and associated cottages for demolition and recycling. A profitable deal in the 1930's was the purchase of Ilam Hall, now a Youth Hostel, which was resold to Sir Robert McDougall, the flour magnate.
