Our history and approach to business
History |
Today |

The business of James Lister & Sons Limited began in 1874 when a local school teacher, James Lister, who was 37 years old at the time, opened an ironmonger's shop in Tipton, West Midlands, with the idea to provide a future for his three sons. His wife ran the shop initially until it was able to support the family and then James quit teaching and moved into the business full-time. After only a few years he took on another shop in West Bromwich.
When James Lister died in 1914 two of his sons, John and Richard, formed a partnership under the name of James Lister & Sons and started to move the business in the direction of engineering distribution by supplying industry with a wide range of tools. The business was quickly rationalised to provide a focus on excellent customer service and a tube manipulation business was started to further expand the service offer. |
Today James Lister & Sons Limited is a well known name in the Midlands, with a heritage over 150 years old. The business is organised into four main engineering activities; listersupplies, listerfluidpower, listertube and listersubcontract. Our Approach to BusinessWe sum up our approach in the phrase "a tradition of service". |
