Cliff Walton & Sons Ltd was started in 1972 by Cliff Walton. Cliff was a qualified Engineer and previously served in the Irish Guards. He saw a niche in the market working from home he filled his house with Television sets and would work all hours delivering and installing this luxury electrical item. He would also install pipeline aerials for rural farms, allowing farmers to have a television set. We still have customers today, who remember Cliff delivering their first television, especially when it went to Colour. Before long it was decided a shop and staff was required and Katrina joined the Team. our first premises was in west street Rhayader and Cliff Walton & Sons was started.
After a few years a new larger premises was required. Cliff purchased Kimberley an old cafe with accommodation above, where he introduced other household appliances to the local people of Rhayader. By this time it was a family affair with his mum on sales, his wife Pauline keeping the books and his two sons Christian and Justin joining the firm. Christian trained at Newtown college, in Electrical Engineering and Justin (or Joe as he is known as) is a people person and took to sales like a duck to water. Then, when Chris and Joe were 17 and 15, Cliff and Pauline had another addition to the family, a baby girl, Fleur now a Chemical Engineer for INEOS.
With the product range expanding, so did Cliff Walton & Sons Ltd. An extension was built, and we became the first Zanussi Dealer in the UK, and so, with changing technology, Cliff Walton & Sons Ltd went from strength to strength.
Sadly Cliff passed away in 2001, leaving Cliff Walton & Sons Ltd in his wife's and son's capable hands. The business has gone from strength to strength and weathered trials and tribulations. We have Christian's wife Hayley working in the business and their son Alex, we can honestly say it is a true family affair.
We're sure Cliff is looking down on his family and would be very proud of their achievements.
