Abrahams

E Abrahams & Co. Ltd. was founded by my wife's great grandfather in 1865. The company managed to survive the vicissitudes of two world wars and is very much alive and kicking today. The company is number one in the manufacture of cases for the fine art market.

Besides this, the company manufactures cases for the removal market as well as export cases for light and heavy machinery. The company prides itself on its workforce, many of whom have served for decades. Our previous foreman, (Arthur), spent a full five decades with us from school to retirement with the event celebrated in the Hackney Gazette.

The company is currently directed by Marc (joined 1992), a member of the BN family and Barry (joined 1986). Barry's father Ron was with the company for nearly 45 years. So you see it is very much a family business.
