Alan Godfrey

Managing Director

Alan came into the trade straight from school at the age of 16 years old. He joined JC Watson as an apprentice, carrying out a block release course between Lewisham College and JC Watson. He spent 14 good years at JC Watson before deciding on trying to have a go on his own with fellow JC Watson employee and good friend Mark Lappage. Alan said “I will always be grateful for all the help and guidance I had at JC Watson working with some of the best engineers in the trade and learning so much for them. Also from Jamie Watson himself for providing me the opportunity to come in to the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning industry and for giving me the belief to succeed”. Alan and Mark set up Godfrey & Lappage in 1997 with their beliefs in offering a first class, efficient and professional service and being very meticulous in every decision. After 21 good years, Godfrey & Lappage continues to grow from strength to strength.
