• Edwin Lawton Limited
    Pallet & Case Makers

    NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE'S LEADING PALLET AND CASE MANUFACTURER

Edwin Lawton has had an excellent reputation for quality and service, at a competitive price within the packaging industry for almost 100 years.

Moses Hall & Sons took over Edwin Lawton Limited in 1948, although the business existed long before that, going back to the late 19th Century, as a Cooperage making casks. Peter Hall joined the Company in 1965 as Tea Boy and apprentice cooper, and by 2013 he was the sole proprietor – the last of the original family to carry on the business.

At the end of 2024, Peter took a step back from things, leaving the ownership and running of the business to long standing employees: Neil Hancock, and Marie Goldstraw. Moving forward into 2025, business will continue as usual, and with a combined work experience of 55 years, Neil and Marie are confident for a prosperous future. In Peter Hall’s words: “although you two do not bear the Hall surname, it feels like you are very much part of an extended Edwin Lawton family.”

  • Edwin Lawton can provide a wide selection of new wooden pallets in many different sizes to suit any requirement.

What benefits does this mark provide?

Wood packaging manufacturers in the UK who make or repair pallets, crates or boxes may supply these products to companies involved in exports. Subsequently the packing will therefore be used for goods shipped overseas and some of it will be used for goods shipped back to the UK. If this wood packing material cannot be easily identified as having originated in the UK, it would have to be liable to some sort of remedial treatment such as fumigation, heat-treatment, re-exported or even destroyed at the importer’s expense.
