As we mark this significant milestone, we’re not just looking back at our achievements; we’re looking forward to the future. With ever-expanding ranges, innovative solutions, and a continual commitment to excellence, we’re excited about what the coming years will bring.
Our History

1988
After the passing of our founder Arthur Lumb his son, David Lumb, took over as chairman.
2002
After the passing of David Lumb, our former MD John Cureton took over as chairman.
2008
After continued success and outgrowing its premises at Ossett, A W Lumb Northern moved to new premises in Dewsbury.
2017
There was a management buy- out by the then directors of the A W Lumb group. John Cureton, Trevor Jones, Mike Smith, Gavin McEntee, Martin Keay and Andrew Roberts.
2022
On 1st March 2022, in a huge development , AW Lumb was acquired by the Lords Group Trading Plc, headed by C.E.O. Shanker Patel. Our former director and part owner Martin Keay took over as M.D.
