WILLIAM LANE FOUNDRY - Key Persons
Our fourth and final Director, Cheryl joined the business in 1997 and oversees the day to day runnings of the business here at William Lane. From accounts to purchasing to sales, Cheryl's been the glue that holds us together for the last 20 years.
Joining as a 16 year old, but practically a newcomer having only started in 1979, Dave oversees all elements of production alongside fellow stalwart, Stuart. An expert in moulding, pattern design and all ferrous and non ferrous metals, if it can be cast, Dave can cast it.
Joining William Lane in 1994 and fast approaching his William Lane silver jubilee, Steve works across both casting and fettling, covering a range of tasks in the foundry. A real team player and always keen to learn, Steve turns a willing hand to whatever project we have on the books.
Joining the business in 1977 as a 15 year old apprentice, Stuart has 40 years experience in all elements of foundry work. A passionate local historian, Stuart oversaw the "excavation" of our original 1895 foundry and loves working on heritage and restoration projects.
