E & H Baxendale was independently established in 1958 by Ernie and Harold Baxendale, it began its humble life being general traders, together with the bagging and distribution of fire wood.  Later engaging in the manufacture of vegetable crates, pallets and packing cases, and eventually into the manufacturing of timber roof trusses in 1974.

Upon the deaths of Ernie and Harold the company was passed down to their nephews Albert Wilkinson and Antony Wawrzyniak who continued to run the company as a partnership up until 2003 when they took the decision to go limited.

Today the company continues to be a family run business with majority of the office staff being immediate family members, even one or two of the production staff are either blood relations or have some other link to the family.
