Caddick & Moss Ltd was formed by Tony Caddick and Tim Moss in 2004.
Tony’s employment began in 1977 as an apprentice Patternmaker in the Patternshop of Newman Electric Motors at Yate Foundry. Following its closure, Tony moved on to British Aerospace and then to Kennard Patterns, one of the largest master pattern shops in Bristol, where he worked for 16 years, reaching the position of foreman.
Tim began his career at Kennard Patterns as an apprentice and served 26 years there, reaching the position of chargehand. Following the retirement of Dave Parker, the owner of Kennard Patterns, Tony and Tim decided to form Caddick & Moss with a wish to continue providing the same quality services provided by Dave that had become expected by customers.
Dave had started his career at the Douglas motorcycle factory in Kingswood as a Patternmaker and then Foundry Technician becoming Foundry manager. He then went on to form Kennard Patterns in 1968, and quickly became one of the largest and best known Patternshops in the Bristol area.
Caddick and Moss now work out of a unit on Hanham Business Park which was the site of Bristol Diecasting and a former colliery.
