Ken Booth Snr acquired the business from his father Clarence and he is still currently serving an active role within the company at the age of 86, but the bulk of the workload is managed by Ken Snr's two sons James & Ken Jnr.

Ken Booth Jnr's two sons Scott (selling) & Jason Booth (buying) oversee the buying and selling of all materials within CF Booth Ltd who are then in turn overseen by their father Ken Jnr.
