Welcome

William J England & Son Ltd was established in 1906 by the late William John England. The company had three main areas of operation. The product oriented line of business was the importation of core food supplies like flour and sugar, which were distributed across the Maltese islands through wholesalers. Shipping and Insurance were the service oriented branch of the company.

In the post World War II years the product line was extended to include blankets and carpets, where the company was the sole agent for a number of iconic brands. As the customer base expanded, further growth was achieved via a large distribution chain across the islands. To further extend the product line, ceramic tiling for domestic and commercial use were added in the early 60's, and here again the company represented top brands like Ricchetti and Fendi.

As growth continued, Henry P England was the lead person for the shipping and insurance operations while his brother Paul W England pushed ahead with the tiling and soft furnishings side of the business.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's it became clear that technology was going to bring on major changes in business operations. Acknowledging this, the company invested in IT to improve internal working methods.

In 1981, the coming into force of the Insurance Business Act required that insurance operations be managed separately from other corporate structures and in a highly regulated environment. To handle this requirement, the insurance operations were migrated to a sister company England Insurance Agency Limited. Paul W England took over the chair as Henry P England chaired the newly formed company.

Having built a substantial technological background over a 10 year period, a blind eye could not be turned to the advent of cellular technology in the early 1990's . Appointed as local distributors for Fonerange, Elite Mobile and European Telecom amongst others, the company became a lead importer, distributor and retailer of cellular goods and accessories.

It was also in the early 2000 that Henry and Paul England retired from daily duties within the company, retaining the role of consultants to the Group. They were succeeded by William J England and Peter E England.

An unexpected change to insurance legislation in early 2000 required that long term insurance polices be transacted separately from the agency,  bringing an insurance element back into the business mix.

In 2000 to add to the Y2K hype we saw an increasing potential in the internet and more specifically facilities for online presence.. This area covers Domain registration, Web hosting, email hosting, Web Marketing, CRM and more. We wanted to offer this in two ways, namely the managed and the self managed.  William J England & Son Ltd handles the managed side, whereby customers without an in-house IT team contract our services to handle their  online presence.  It was at this point that WJ Domains was setup. WJ Domains primary focus is towards the hands on /. do it yourself IT Administrator wishing to purchase / transfer or renew domain names, web hosting , email hosting, domain reselling.

Somewhat always in search of new markets and challenges, our internal telecommunication requirments got us to look into Voice Over IP.

Today, Peter England handles the insurance operations within the company and its sister company England Insurance Agency Ltd , while William J England focuses on growing the core IT business for the company.

A hundred years in the making, William J England & Son Ltd is a leading IT solution company, offering products and services to fit the needs of the small to medium enterprise.
