That's a different Williams then. They were exclusively darn sarf until about a year ago.
A forum that me and rocky used to go on before the brew cabin was created had the owner of Williams as a sponsor, top bloke called Ray - he gave us lots of freebies, then the forum went cliquey and people left including Ray.
The first and only store to open north of the watford gap is in Manchester and it opened a couple of years ago.

Yeah that forum was ok but full of rules & a few hours idiots I’ve not been there in years now. Have you JC? The williams bloke Ray was a nice chap, if there were problems he’d sort it out. All for the business obviously. I wonder how he is? |

Ray is the MD & it’s an Employee owned company, he’s on several Gas FB pages.
I think you’re right about them being mainly down south & their Manchester is not long opened & their first up north. Well, when I say up north we should be talking the Shetland Islands👍
Most of their deliveries come with Sweets etc. I thought they had a bunch of Priests doing their picking & packing??

All for the business obviously. I wonder how he is? Yeah I enjoyed that forum for years until it got cliquey, I remember it broke one time and your posts would duplicate, one member on there who was somehow in the clique and fixes saniflows for a living accused me of double posting to get my post count up, that peed me off so I stopped posting for a bit and realised I was spending too much time on there. I'd still go on every so often - I still do. The saniflow guy's still on there as a mod now I think or a trusted member or something, he's still bugs me too. There's a lot of tool snobbery on there and some of the members are up their own arses, certainly not a fun place to be, unlike here where it's relaxed and happy  |
