Barri Dodgson,Dip F.D., M.B.I.E.,
Managing Director
Originally from an engineering background
where,
as a Chartered Chemical
Engineer he worked as
a Project Manager in the Chemical
Plant
Contracting Industry, Barri entered the
funeral vocation on the retirement
of his wife
Ann's father, in order to
continue the bus iness
of the then
Thomas
Johnson & Co.
Following the change of name to Dodgson's
Funeral Service, the business
of George Bell
which had
been established in Northwich since 1910, was
merged
with the company prior to the retirement
of Mr Bell, subsequently
becoming Dodgson
& Bell Funeral
Services. Both companies continue
today under the ownership and management
of Barri and Ann Dodgson.

Damian Dodgson
Barri and Ann's son, Damian, joined the company
in July 1994 and
during the intervening years has
become a valued member of the
team. Damian's
role as Funeral Director is providing a well liked
and valuable service with many clients asking
for him to conduct
further family funerals. |

Ann Dodgson, Dip F.D., M.B.I.E.,
Company Secretary
Ann was brought up in the funeral business,
having assisted her
father in the family run firm
since leaving school. Anticipating that
her
involvement with
the company would be at an
end with the
retirement
of her father and having
married Barri during his
career
as a Chemical
Engineer, it came as something
of a surprise
to
learn
of her husband's interest in continuing
the business. |
