2025 marks 90th anniversary of family business

Cheshunt-based Dobsons was originally founded by Frank Dobson in 1935 as a general builders and joiners, with a dedicated joinery workshop on the Turners Hill site where the company remains to this day.

Frank was followed into the business by his son, also Frank, and during the early years Dobsons formed part of an emergency repair group carrying out repairs to many buildings damaged in London during World War II.

During the sixties and seventies, following the addition to the business of son Paul and grandson Nigel, Dobsons developed the business into shop fitting, fitting out many of the early local supermarkets and building societies.

The eighties saw the beginning of the transformation of Dobsons into the domestic home improvement company that they are today, with the appointment of grandson Tim in 1980. The following year saw the opening of the first showroom on the site, a window and door centre, which saw the company move away from timber joinery into the newly founded UPVC market.

Dobsons continued to expand over the years into roofline and conservatories and in the early nineties Dobsons decided to venture into the interior home improvement market for the first time, adding fitted kitchens and bedrooms to their portfolio.

The noughties saw Dobsons further expand into bathrooms and most recently home renovations. During this time the fourth generation of family took over its management, with great-granddaughter Helen and fellow directors Matthew Rowlandson and Kevin Milne at the helm.

Dobsons believe this diversification, along with their commitment to customer service and quality products, has been the key to their success over the years.

They are constantly looking for ways to improve their business and ensure their Cheshunt showroom is always kept up to date with the latest trends.

Another factor in their success is their loyal and dedicated staff, most of who have been with the company for many years. Dobsons specialise in carrying out high quality projects, individually designed and project managed from start to completion for a perfect seamless finish.

To celebrate this special year Dobsons are holding a birthday celebration on Saturday 27th September from 11am – 3pm at their Turners Hill showroom.

Events on the day include;

• Live cooking from Neff and Siemens chef
