James Huntley & Sons Limited

James Huntley & Sons Ltd was founded by the current owner's father, George Huntley Senior in 1956. The company was moved from a disused stable in Cross Street Portsea to Beck Street Portsea. In about 1961, Mr Huntley then moved to the railway arches at the hard which is now the footpath entrance to Gunwharf Quays.

In 1968, the Farlington site was acquired by the family. On the 21st of August, 1969, the Petersfield site was opened and run by Mr Huntleys youngest son James. 

The Southampton site opened in 1971 and was then ran by Mr Huntley's eldest son John who now runs the Petersfield site. James left Petersfield to run the Southampton site in 1983 and has been there ever since.
