Johnsons Wellfield

What Johnsons Wellfield does

Johnsons Wellfield is a 170-year-old British stone quarrying and manufacturing business headquartered at Crosland Hill, Huddersfield, operating as a subsidiary of the family-owned Myers Group (founded 1929, fourth-generation ownership, approximately 350 employees and ~GBP 40m group revenue). The company holds sole extraction rights to the Crosland Hill Natural Hard Yorkstone reserves, which it has worked since 1961 across a 250-acre site, and is the only Myers Group member operating on a national basis. Johnsons Wellfield directly employs 60+ staff and is positioned as Britain's leading supplier of Natural Hard Yorkstone across four primary variants (Classic Buff, Multi Toned, Natural Buff, Natural Riven).

Manufacturing combines traditional masonry craftsmanship with robotic CAD/CAM profiling, producing more than 60,000 square metres of finished dimensional stone annually from a 4,000-tonne raw stock buffer. The core product set covers paving, setts, ashlar, walling, steps, and bespoke masonry, available in eight surface finishes including a proprietary shot-sawn technique unique to the company. In 2024 the company extended its range with Myers Blocks, an interlocking concrete block sub-brand enabled by a partnership with BetonBlock, plus Yorkstone-faced variants. Complementary installation and maintenance products are distributed through partnerships with Steintec (mortars) and Weiss (cleaners and protectants).

Commercial activity runs through two channels: a sales-led direct consultation team handling specification, heritage, and bespoke projects via phone, email, and WhatsApp, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store shipping samples (GBP 25 per pack) and smaller installation products across UK mainland. Customers span public heritage (Palace of Westminster, Tower of London, V&A, Natural History Museum), education (Cambridge and Oxford colleges), gardens and museums (Kew Gardens, RHS), commercial developers (Battersea Power Station, Sainsbury's Laboratory, Westgate Oxford), local authorities, and residential builders. Pricing is quotation-based for custom work and unit-based for catalog items; no company-level financial results are publicly disclosed.
