Meet The Team
It is always good to put a name to a face, so here's the Derwas Team, Welshpool.
Kaye Derwas
Owner
My grandad started the business in the 50’s then Dad started on his own as an Agricultural Ironmonger in 1961.
I joined in 1991 after doing my degree in Aberystwyth Uni. It was supposed to be a temporary measure till I found another job, but almost three decades later I’m still here!
We truly are a family business and have had to move with the times, it hasn’t been easy but we are still going and I’m really proud to be taking the business forward.
