OUR HISTORY
FIDDES has a long and proud history of ‘caring for wood’ that began with its founder Albert Fiddes in the early part of last century which continues to this day.
Originally supplying paints and distempers to the joinery and building trades, FIDDES moved from Bristol to the burgeoning port of Cardiff just after the Second World War, renovating an old stable block in the aptly named Trade Street.
From here, FIDDES would extend their range into manufacturing wax & shellac polishes, wood dyes & oils, supplying skilled craftsmen within the local area.
Fast-forward four generations, today FIDDES operates from a purpose-built manufacturing facility producing a wide range of sustainable wood finishes utilising the very latest technology and from the finest raw materials available.
With its progressive outlook and ever expanding global network of appointed Distributors, FIDDES remains recognised as a world leading manufacturer of traditional and modern wood finishing products.
