He was born in Italy but came to England to work for the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts at the end of the 19th century.[1] He settled in Bromsgrove and in partnership with Mr Hack, managed to buy the Old Coach House, setting up their own business Pancheri and Hack, around 1920.
Celestino Pancheri married Florence Gibbs in 1911. Their son, Robert followed his father into the trade, and the business was called Pancheri and Son.
Robert Pancheri (22 June 1916 – 1996) was educated at Bromsgrove School, saw service as a Captain in the Cheshire Regiment in the Second World War and was a lay preacher. On his father's death, he inherited the business.
