Brilliant Businesses Podcast Episode 172 - Oliver Towner, Arthur C. Towner Ltd
O
1:32Oliver TownerGUEST
So my family, a chap called Thomas Towner first came to St. Leonard's with James Burton, the architect.
O
1:39Oliver TownerGUEST
who sort of built St. Leonard's, came down as a builder and helped him build the town of St. Leonard's.
O
1:44Oliver TownerGUEST
His son, I think it was his son or his grandson, Frederick Edward, learnt what he could from Thomas about sort of building and woodwork and carpentry and ended up being one of the people in town that could make a coffin, which is quite a common historical story for how people become undertakers.
O
2:05Oliver TownerGUEST
His son, Arthur C. Towner, then incorporated the business, became a limited company, which is why the name is Arthur C. Towner and not Frederick Edward Towner.
