PhilMurray Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It was a sad day yesterday at 4pm Williams fasteners ceased trading. I wish all my fellow workers good luck for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 What reasons have been given for the closure Phil? I`m guessing the closure of the surrounding steel plants may have played a part. I think Williams used to supply the stores at the Avesta stainless plant on Shepcote Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handypandy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 That's sad. I remember going to the rabbit warren on Green Lane (?) decades ago. Me too. If Williams Bros didn't sell it, it was because nobody made it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the Sheffield bit or the whole organisation that has finished? Looks like quite a history.
