Description
The origins of C A Duquemin Ltd go back to 1924 when A J Duquemin started in business as a stonemason and builder. One of his first projects was the construction of the Island War Memorial at the top of Smith Street in 1926. By 1930 the business had a full time staff of over 30 and its main markets were house building and constructing boiler pits and chimneys for the horticulture industry. Cecil Alfred Duquemin joined his father during the early 1930’s and eventually took over the business and changed its name to C A Duquemin upon his father’s death in 1938. Cecil’s son Malcolm also joined the firm in 1938. The business has always operated from the Les Baissieres area on the outskirts of St Peter Port.
