Did you work at Palmers Shipyard based in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear in or around 1946 to 1953?

Browell Smith & Company Solicitors represent the Estate of a gentleman who sadly passed away of asbestos induced, Mesothelioma. The Deceased served his time as an apprentice and then joiner at Palmers Shipyard based in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear, between 1946 and 1953. This was a shipbuilding company.

We are reaching out for anyone who may have worked as a joiner or in close proximity to joiners at the Palmers Shipyard between 1946 and 1953 who can give information about working practices for apprentice joiners that may have brought them into contact with asbestos both in the workshops and on board vessels.

We are specifically looking for individuals who were employed as apprentice joiners during this period or those who may have supervised their work and training.

Please contact Kirsty Dockerty on 0191 250 3213 or kirsty.dockerty@browells.co.uk if you are able to provide any information or assistance.
