Established in 1919, Fraser & Ellis Ltd is a leading independent Plumbers' Merchant, providing a wide range of plumbing, heating, drainage, and mechanical materials to businesses across London and the surrounding counties. Our company has a rich history, dating back to the First World War, when two friends, Colin Fraser and Vic Ellis, formed a business partnership after serving together on the front lines.
Our History
The early days of Fraser & Ellis read like the opening chapter of a Jeffrey Archer novel. Colin Fraser and Vic Ellis, two chums who enlisted together, fought alongside each other through the carnage of the Somme and, with the coming of the peace, formed a business partnership. They traded in partnership as Foundry Agents from January 1919, with accounts still existing for that very first trading year ended 31st January 1920 and all subsequent years.
In 1923, Fraser & Ellis Ltd was born, and the company moved to premises in Portsea Mews, Marble Arch, to have some storage capacity. By 1926, they had outgrown these premises and moved to their familiar Old Church Street home. The reason for the name Fraser & Ellis being chosen over Ellis & Fraser is due to a simple toss of a coin, a method used one hundred and fifty years earlier to determine that Epsom hosts the Derby each year, not the Bunbury.
