H O Wright & Sons Ltd

H.O. Wright and Sons Ltd. was started in 1954 by Harry O. Wright, and is currently operating with the assistance of his three sons, Colin, Brian and Philip, and three other tradesmen. Among them, the staff has over 100 years' working experience in their trades. Harry Wright first worked in Renfrew, in a government manufacturing plant (Department of Mines) during the Second World War. After the war, he returned to his home town of North Gower, and worked for 5 years in the plumbing and electrical business with William Hicks, another well-known North Gower businessman. Then he started his own business, at its present location on Church Street. The first shop was moved back from its original location, when a number of properties on Church Street extended their lots by purchasing land from the Seabrook farm. The original shop has had two extensions.
