We are proud to announce that the fourth member of the Ritherdon family has joined the Company.  Ben Ritherdon started at Ritherdons at the end of 2008 and has recently been appointed Marketing Director.

Ritherdons was set up in 1895 by Ben’s great grandfather, Percy Ritherdon.  Percy’s son Roland took over at the Company in the 1930s and Ben’s father and current MD, Howard Ritherdon, joined in the 1960s.

Prior to joining Ritherdons, Ben spent several years in academic research, followed by 6 years research and development work in the nuclear industry at UKAEA in Oxfordshire.
