Company History

Jerry Ridgway, a former Associate Partner of leading Auctioneers Henry Butcher International Ltd, recognised a gap in the commercial market as Health and Safety issues became more strictly regulated in the commercial, construction and mining trades.

Jerry’s earlier employment background was in marine, mining, engineering, heavy plant sales, managing large projects such as the asset disposal programme for TML Eurotunnel on the Channel Tunnel Project and Falkland Islands construction asset sales.  In 1999 he teamed up with Charles Rodgers, who brought to the Company extensive experience in accountancy, buying and retail trading and together they formed the backbone of Explorer Associates Limited.
