A family owned and run company whose founders still maintain day to day ‘hands on’ contact.
Our head office and works at St. Helens, covers a distribution area West of the Pennines from Stoke in the South to Penrith in the North.
Managing Director
John Webster, over 30 years experience in gas and engineering; the captain of the ship.
Engineering Director
David Webster, similar experience to John but much better with the spanners. David is responsible for the maintenance of our vehicle fleet, filling plant, and virtually anything that either moves or doesn’t, he has two technicians and one mechanic to help him.
We utilise our own workshops and manufacture much of our own equipment.
Company History
The foundations of North West Gases were laid in 1979. Formerly trading as MESAS, a specialist-engineering distributor, the sale of liquefied petroleum gas was less than 5% of our turnover.
1985 saw the company move to its current premises. The addition of Industrial and Beverage Dispense Gases gradually changed the direction of the company, leading to the formation of North West Gases in 1995.
2000. Head office extended by acquisition of adjacent premises, some of the largest cryogenic storage vessels in the UK installed and CELLAFLO filling plant re-housed and capacity doubled.
The project continues!
