Our specialist asbestos claims team has been instructed by the family of a gentleman who has sadly recently died from mesothelioma, an asbestos related cancer.

We are investigating how the Deceased may have come into contact with asbestos during his working life and are interested in speaking to those who may have worked with him, or worked at the same companies as him.

We are particularly interested in speaking to anyone who may have worked at the following companies:

Armstrong Cork in Gateshead in the 1960s/70s; or
George Wimpey at the Ravensworth Estate, Dunston in the 1980s/90s.

If you have any information that may assist, please get in touch with Abbie Porter on:
