Celebrating Generations of Fatherhood This Father’s Day

As a fifth-generation family run company, father’s, grandfathers and great-grandfathers hold a special place in our hearts.
We are fortunate to have a wonderful dad, Stuart, who not only plays a vital role in our lives as parent, but also a mentor at Widdop & Co.

What Being a Dad Means to Stephen

"With Father’s Day approaching, we’ve been reflecting on what it means to be a dad. For me, Stephen, being a dad means everything.
My wife and I are blessed with two beautiful boys – twins! They keep us on our toes and bring endless joy to our lives. The saying that your lives change forever when you have children couldn’t be truer.
Parenthood is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It’s exciting, fun and challenging.
As a parent, there’s great responsibility and with that comes great expectation. I hold that very dear to my heart. There’s an opportunity to leave a legacy unlike anything I’ve ever known.
I’m not saying in terms of Widdop, I want our boys to follow their own paths, but watching them grow brings immense happiness."


The Greatest Job - Reflections From Dan

"Like Stephen, for me being a dad brings nothing but joy to my life.
Being a parent is one of the greatest jobs and my proudest achievement. Nothing can compare to coming home to my children, its unconditional love, boundless enthusiasm and creativity.
I too don’t take the role of being a parent lightly.
Parenthood has taught me patience, resilience, and the importance of being present. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. The rewards of seeing my children grow, learn, and thrive are beyond measure."
