General information

Mercer & Sons Ltd was established in 1840 and the present Managing Director is the fifth generation of the family to continue in successful trading.

The business was started by Thomas Turner Mercer who opened the Ironmongers shop on Northgate from where his sons eventually took over and the company became known for a while as Mercer Brothers. Our first lorry which replaced the horse and trap was purchased in 1949!

Mercer & Sons expanded into its Steel stockholders division in 1967 with the purchase of the Pump Street Mill Warehouses from where our successful trade department has traded ever since.

Our custom built Sales Centre services collections by our customers and our Warehouse team send out telephone, fax & internet orders via our fleet of vehicles to Lancashire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside & Cheshire.
