Quality refrigeration
H.A.Davie was first registered as a limited company in July 1902 but had commenced trading in Sunderland several years earlier as Engineers, Millwrights and Licensed Valuers.
Henry Angus Davie was the founder and first Managing Director of the company. He was a mechanical engineer with an interest in the embryo motor trade and one of the first agencies held by the Company was on behalf of the National Gas Engine Co. Ltd. During the 1920's, the Company developed from being solely mechanical engineers and opened a showroom in Chester Road, Sunderland from which it sold electrical equipment. In 1927 it became an agent for Frigidaire refrigeration equipment.
From this date, although continuing to work as electrical contractors, they soon became more involved in the rapidly developing refrigeration market with customers as diverse as ice cream manufacturers and local hospitals.
In 1979, the current Managing Director, David Martin-Jones, with colleagues bought the Company from its previous owners and in 1983 the Company moved to its current premises in Houghton-le-Spring.
