£1000.00

Our family run company was founded in 1966 by Harry Bates with an initial investment of £1000.00.

Harry rented premises at the existing site of 106 Shaw Heath, Stockport, which was a third of the size of the current building.

With support from manufacturers and trade customers Harry Bates Ltd quickly established itself as the leading plumbers merchants in the area. With the aim of providing quality products and service.

With the acquisition of two further adjoining properties, over the next 35 years our company achieved steady organic growth, continuing as it was conceived with quality manufacturers, value for money goods and service. 

Even today Harry Bates Ltd still offers Free Local Delivery.
