This is a family business with its origins
going back nearly a century when my grandfather Edgar Greenwood arrived
in Wellington from Rochdale in England. He began work with Alcock and
Co
making Billiards tables and remained in their employment until being
called up to go overseas to WW1.
He was one of the fortunate ones to return
home without major injury and took up residence in Dunedin where he was
agent for Alcocks as well as doing table repairs.
In due course my father Jim trained in the
job and in 1953 decided Christchurch was the place for him and set up
in
business here.
In 1970 I commenced working at the trade and in later years took over
the running of the business.
Now we are known as Snooker Shop with our showroom and workshop
situated inside the "Four Avenues" that mark the boundaries of Central
Christchurch. From here we undertake the building of new tables, major
table refurbishing and display and sell the complete range of product
sought by today’s Cue Sport player and commercial operator.
As well we carry out on site work anywhere in the South Island and
further afield on request.
We have the experience, skills, products and knowledge to put together
a solution to meet all your needs from a simple cue retip to a complete
setup fit for a World Tournament.
I look forward to talking to you soon.
