Dormole Group The group of companies that makes up Dormole dates to February 1972 and the opening of CA Clemson and Sons Ltd in the West Midlands. Founded by Arthur Clemson and John Twallin, this was the first branch of the tool wholesale distribution group now known as Toolbank. Fixings and fastenings businesses were acquired and tool brands were purchased and organically grown including Roughneck, Scan and Faithfull, which has a heritage back to 1875.
Over 50 years later, the ethos of the group is still to work very closely with its customers to provide a service “par excellence”. Arthur’s sons Steve and Richard have now retired and John’s nephews, Andrew and Tim Strong, are board directors, son-in-law Chris Ledson manages IT and the next generation of Dave, Louise, George and Sam work within the business.
