The Edward Finch firm has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s when it was originally established as a plumbing and heating engineer company. Throughout the years, the company has undergone significant transformations and is now a reputable building surveying company.
In 1969, John Gamston assumed ownership of the company and successfully diversified its services, expanding it into a general building firm. Under John’s leadership, Edward Finch experienced substantial growth and emerged as a prominent player in the construction industry. In recognition of his contributions, John Gamston was elected as the President of the Wolverhampton Branch for the Federation of Master Builders.
Building upon the solid foundation laid by previous generations, Edward Finch took a bold step towards further success in 2000. Nick Gamston MRICS, son of John Gamston, assumed leadership and spearheaded the company’s expansion into the professional world of Surveying. With his expertise and vision, Nick transformed the firm into the Edward Finch Partnership, which remains a cornerstone of the company today.
