The Watts of Lydney Group is a family-owned business with a 150 year HERITAGE and is built on a foundation of valuing PEOPLE, INNOVATION, and ACHIEVEMENT.

Our Companies

Watts of Lydney Group is a long-established, family-owned business with interests in specialist manufacturing and commercial property. The Group comprises Watts Urethane Products, Plysolene and Althorpe Properties. Each business operates independently within its specialist market while sharing the values and long-term outlook that have characterised Watts throughout its history. In September 2025, Watts Truck & Van Limited and the properties from which it operates were demerged into a separate group, Watts Truck Holdings Limited. The demerger enables the two groups to pursue their respective strategies independently while remaining under longstanding family ownership.
