Company info

We took over the business in June 2021. Before that Ian ran a successful kitchen and bathroom company for 20 years, & Tracie owned a nail salon for 30 years. We decided to fulfil our dream in 2021 of living on the coast. We love history and Weymouth is certainly steeped in it. Our building is over 250 years old, & we enjoy taking in the architecture so of many buildings in Weymouth. We love walking around the harbour and feel very blessed to live in such a beautiful place. We love the sea and enjoy cold water swimming and paddle boarding ( well Tracie does Ian doesn't do cold). We also love 40's & 50"s music and have a jukebox and partake in jiving when we have the energy. We love living and working in this stunning part of the world. So join us and take in the delights and diversity that Weymouth has to offer. Then relax and unwind in The Wadham Ian & Tracie
