The beginning
Dams have a proud heritage that spans over 50 years of commitment to the office furniture industry. In 1967, Barry Scott started DAMS (Dictating and Adding Machine Service) as a one man operation purely to do repairs to business machines. During the late 1960’s Dams started selling metal filing cabinets, and then had an opportunity to supply desks to Liverpool Council. Unable to find any suitable products, Dams made the decision to make the desks instead!
UK manufacturing
This progressed to Dams starting to make wooden office furniture at a farm in Wrexham at the weekends which was the start of Dams UK manufacturing operations. The finished products would be transported from Wrexham to Liverpool on the Sunday night and Dams would sell all the furniture during the week.
