Established in 1987 by partners John Gray and Dennis Gwynn.

We are located in South Shields, Tyne and Wear and operate a showroom, office and warehouse facility from our premises.

The company is one of the largest Calor Gas distributors in the North East of England.

The firm has consolidated its reputation by winning a host of regional and national awards for enterprise. In 1987 the company could not envisage the vast product range that they now stock and distribute all over the United Kingdom. Due to customer demand we have twice expanded over these years and are looking to expand still, with increased showroom and warehouse space required.
