Landmark year for Shropshire family business group

2022 has marked a special milestone for one of Shrewsbury’s leading family run businesses as Morris & Company celebrates 100 years incorporation as a Limited Company.

Back in 1922, the entrepreneurial young Morris brothers completed their brand-new offices at the head of the Welsh Bridge where the business was to be nurtured and grown by the family over five generations. Today the Queen Anne style building proudly bears its 1922 incorporation in the unique stained glass window which features centre stage in the office’s reception.
