About the Business
McKnight & Son is one of the longest established family building firms in Carlisle. Bob McKnight started the firm in 1965 and will celebrate his fiftieth year in business in 2015. The firm has an enviable reputation for quality of workmanship and for a very personal service. Over the last few years Wayne McKnight has taken over management of the business and has ensured that the business continues to thrive and diversify. In 2013 the business moved into premises on Junction Street. An old, derelict, electrical warehouse and dated office area was converted into a modern, purpose built, space for use by the firm as an office, builders store and joinery workshop.
The workforce at McKnight & Son comprises around 30 craftsmen who all take great pride in their work. Some of the men have been working with Bob for almost 40 years. Many of the craftsmen can still use traditional methods on old listed buildings but can equally use the very latest techniques on modern buildings.
