Julian Mousley & Sons. Ltd is an established Civil Engineering company based in St. Clears, well-respected for its management of ground preparation, and construction of large, local agricultural buildings across the counties of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire in west Wales.

Shufflebottom was commissioned for the manufacture and supply of twin span, steel-framed agricultural buildings and associated concrete panels, to be sited at Gellifelen Farm, Whitland, Carmarthenshire.
