From the Archive …A Note from November 1946…

WE commenced business at our present shop 116 years ago in the reign of Geo. IV, but we barely SURVIVED the War, as we lost several premises and warehouses, the most regretted being our shop, The Cloisters, Temple, built by Sir Christopher Wren,

and a basement warehouse in Lamb Building, Temple, the writer having the bitter experience of seeing these premises, the Temple Church, Inner Temple Library and many others destroyed by enemy action on 10-11 May, 1941 from 11 pm to 5 am. next day enemy aircraft appeared to be incessant.

To see tens of thousands of books, many irreplaceable, destroyed is sad, and the world, even enemy countries is the poorer. Another warehouse near Chancery Lane was bombed, but after many weeks of dangerous labour in the condemned premises we managed to salvage many lorry loads of books and placed them in the basement of 3 Stone Buildings, Lincolns Inn. Two days after we had finished, a bomb fell and destroyed the lot.

ANOTHER CAUSE of our near extinction was that owing to War Service, at one time our staff consisted of EXACTLY ONE, and he (over sixty) was in the Home Guard. Fortunately our HQ in Lincolns Inn remained intact with the exception of losing all the glass several times.

WILDY & SONS, LTD
Lincolns Inn
November 1946

The note above was written by W.W. Sinkins, grandfather of the current owner, as an introduction to our first post war catalogue in November 1946. During the war in addition to running Wildy’s he was an ARP Warden and as he describes witnessed the bombing of Temple in 1941.


BIALL Supplier of the Year 2010

The Citation from BIALL

2010 is the first year for a new award, one made to the supplier rated the best in a survey of the BIALL membership. 144 people responded to the survey, a sizeable proportion of the membership. Suppliers were rated on their advertising and marketing techniques, their pricing and negotiations, their after-sale service, and the quality of their products and services, as well as given an overall rating.

The supplier that has won the award was one of the more widely used of those assessed, with nearly half of respondents rating them. They achieved an average rating, across this large number of people, of over 4 out of 5 in all the categories assessed, with special mention for an average score of 4.73 in the customer service category. 35 respondents nominated the company as their favourite supplier, about 30% of the people who made such a nomination.

They were described as having an excellent product, with good pricing and outstanding customer service, nothing ever seeming to be too much trouble. They really understand the needs of the business, and of individual customers. They respond promptly and helpfully to communications, and resolve the few problems that occur quickly and efficiently.

Many respondents singled out the supplier’s website for praise. It was described as easy to use with all relevant information provided at the touch of a button, and particularly complimented on its accuracy and detail. However, several people also mentioned the monthly printed current awareness newsletter, showing that this supplier continues to use traditional methods alongside modern ones, and manages to do both well.

I am very pleased to announce that the BIALL Supplier of the Year Award for the year 2010 goes to Wildy & Sons Ltd
