Westley Group grew out of the Westley family business (seventh generation), established for more than 200 years, originally supplying mainly copper based alloy castings. Following the closure of the Whitechapel Bell foundry, Tom Westley wanted to find a way to continue the Whitechapel tradition of casting church bells in the United Kingdom and has transferred a lot of Whitechapel’s equipment, skills and knowledge to the Group’s specialist sand casting bronze foundry near Stoke-on-Trent.
