Our story begins in 1992 when Ben Gwillim and Bob Bacon, both employed by a Herefordshire timber and builders merchants at the time, saw the opportunity to utilise their combined knowledge and experience and bought the business, then known as J G Collins Builders Merchant. Gwillim & Bacon was born.
It is an interesting coincidence that Ben was to return to an area where his great-grandfather, also Ben Gwillim, had a coal yard supplying the miners of Big Pit, Milfraen, Keys Slope and Dods Slope with their entitlement coal.
Over the years, Gwillim & Bacon has developed a reputation for supplying building materials, timber and landscaping products at competitive prices, with a reliable and friendly service.
