Grounded in strong values
Our six businesses operate independently, but all share the same mission, vision and values - with a focus on customer service and a dedication to quality. We use these values to inform our daily operations and measure our performance, which ensures they are at the foundation of everything we do as a group.
We're proud of our people
As a family run business - people are at the core of everything we do. We have an extremely loyal team, with many having been a part of business for upwards of 30 years.

A group with family roots
The James Donaldson & Sons group was established more than 150 years ago by the Donaldson family. It has withstood two world wars, multiple recessions and market changes and yet maintains its family run ethos and independence. We are proud to say that the business today is still within the Donaldson family, six generations later.
