What Lewis Concrete does

Lewis Concrete Ltd is a Wimborne, Dorset-based wetcast precast concrete manufacturer founded in 1952 and currently in its fourth generation of family ownership. The company operates a single manufacturing facility at Woolsbridge Industrial Estate (Three Legged Cross), having relocated machinery and operations there from a prior Ferndown site in 2009. Its product range spans concrete fencing (slotted, general purpose and recessed fence posts, gravel boards, repair spurs, 20kg postmix), paving slabs (Cotswold Riven, Rotunda, Ripple, stepping stones and circle kits), path edgings (bull nosed, roundtop, full rope top, scroll top), coping and walling (double and single weathered coping, pier caps, random drystone walling), padstones and gully surrounds, memorial foundations, and concrete interlocking blocks for material bays, flood defences and agricultural use. All products are cast on-site using wetcast concrete technology, with staff tenure of more than 15 years operating the same machinery supporting consistent finish and durability; padstones, for example, are cast to a minimum 40 Newton compressive strength for standard sizes.

The business runs a hybrid sales model combining a direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop, telephone and email ordering, and WhatsApp contact. It serves three customer segments — trade customers (fencers, builders), builders merchants, and retail/DIY buyers — with trade discount accounts offered on both cash and credit terms to repeat buyers. Distribution is purely regional, restricted to the Dorset area, executed via a single 26-tonne lorry offering roadside crane off-load to the nearest hard public highway; free local delivery is provided on orders over £200+VAT with a £20+VAT fee below that threshold and a £50+VAT minimum order. The company holds Living Wage Foundation certification and Federation of Small Businesses membership, signals it uses in positioning to local trade buyers.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or partnerships in the record. The pricing model is quote-based for most lines (paving slabs are deliberately not sold online so staff can confirm quantities), with unit pricing on padstones starting at £8.78+VAT and a 10% restocking fee on returns within 28 days. Marketing relies primarily on the company website, email newsletter sign-ups, WhatsApp, and local reputation rather than paid digital channels.
