History

Coleman Milne was founded by John Coleman and Roderick Milne in 1953. At first they specialised in vehicle body repairs and horse boxes. They quickly found a niche in using those skills to create limousines and funeral hearses. In 1992 a management buy out resulted in becoming a trading division under the holding company name of Woodall Nicholson Limited. Today, the Company’s objective is to provide a range of hearses and limousines of leading design, which are competitively priced, economical to operate and of a quality appropriate to their function.
