BEESLEY & FILDES
BEESLEY & FILDES started in 1820 when Robert Beesley set himself up as a master painter, plumber, and glazier with a shop in Prescot. The business gradually expanded over the next 200 years, with James Fildes joining just after the Second World War, when the name changed to Beesley & Fildes. In January 2019, Beesley & Fildes
bought CSS (North West ) Ltd, inheriting the customers of the 21 year-old business and increasing their branch number to ten.
