Stokers’ History lesson Having heritage doesn’t mean we’re ‘old fashioned’ Stokers Ltd: Established in 1895

In 1895 during the reign of Queen Victoria, Alfred Stoker established a business selling fabric and millinery in the thriving market town of Ormskirk. The business progressed into selling carpets and floor coverings, as its reputation for quality and service grew, so too did Stokers as they extended into furniture. Alfred’s son Albert was next to take charge of the business, Albert continued to work within the business well into his 80’s where his son Paul Stoker and daughter Joy Schofield took the reins. The business is now in the care of Jonathan Stoker (Paul’s son) and Graham Schofield (Joy’s son). So as you can see, family values, commitment and traditions are important to the Stokers Group.
