3 Our history With roots dating back to 1782, Sworders has a long history. Founded by George Edward Sworder in 1843, Sworders has become synonymous with high quality professional property advice. In 1879 George took his three sons into the partnership, and the business became known as G.E. Sworder & Sons. On George s death in March 1884, the Herts & Essex Observer described the firm as a household name for all that was honest, upright and straightforward. The team at Sworders continues to adhere to these traditional values. In the late 1980s G.E. Sworder & Sons was divided into five separate parts and our current business was re-opened by Angus Hudson and Vernon Muskett who started trading on 1st December In 1997 the business moved from Bishop s Stortford to Hadham Hall and since that time has grown in scale and diversity and now includes offices in Warwickshire and Norfolk.
