The History of W&P
 
So how has our family business survived through two World Wars, economic depressions and most challenging of all - changing times? We believe it is because we have had the courage to find new markets and opportunities. Great credit can be accounted to two ladies; Pam Parrish and Catherine Parrish. Pam is still a Director and helped the business through difficult times and Catherine ran the Company during the last war when her son Eric was away in the army.
 
In the early days the business supplied Blacksmiths and Wheelwrights. Deliveries were made every quarter throughout Sussex by horse and cart. When Eric Parrish realised the Blacksmiths trade was in decline, he started a Builders Merchant business. When Michael Parrish took over, he realised that the company premises in Lewes was unsuitable so bought a Warehouse in Hailsham and started a new business in Industrial Cleaning and Janitorial Supplies. Now Nicholas and Alasdair have guided the company into new markets in Healthcare and Medical products.
