History of DAVIES White & Perry

DAVIES White & Perry’s long history began in 1806 in Newport High Street when Mr Pooler (the great great grandfather of Mr Andrew Davies and Mrs Caroline Cross), who had operated on his own for approximately 30 years previous to this, joined with Mr Holland. Mr Pooler had a son and two daughters, sadly the son died at a relatively young age, but the second daughter married Mr Arthur Davies in the late 1800’s who joined his father-in-law in the family business, at which time the firms name was changed to Pooler & Davies.

Mr Tom White who joined the firm in 1894 was subsequently made a partner in 1914 and remained so until 1940 when he died. Mr R Davies who, after leaving Clifton College in Bristol, joined the Kings Shopshire Light Infantry in 1914 and was badly wounded at Passiondale in 1917, he subsequently joined the firm in 1921.

In 1926 the firm took over Nock & Son of Shifnal, a partner of which Mr A Perry continued in the firm and it was at this time the name was changed to DAVIES White & Perry.

In January 1951, after coming out of the Royal Navy, Mr J P Davies joined his father in the family business and took over as principal of the firm in 1967 for a further 43 years until his death in 2010. After completing professional certification in Oxford Mr A Davies joined the firm in 1984 and Mrs C Cross in 2000. As the son and daughter of Mr J P Davies, and the great great grandchildren of Mr Pooler, Mr Davies and Mrs Cross now continue the fifth generation of the family business.
