Browell Smith & Company represent the Estate of a gentleman who sadly passed away of asbestos-induced, Mesothelioma.   The Deceased was employed as a labourer at Doxfords Yard based in Pallion, Sunderland in 1974 to 1976.  This was a shipbuilding company.  We understand that the company was renamed Sunderland Shipbuilders Limited from around 1970.

We would urgently request assistance from anybody who worked at the Doxfords Yard during that time to come forward with information about working conditions and particular the asbestos which was present.
