rXPANSION of manufacturing or
service facilities is reported by several companies this week, among them Henry Boys and Son Ltd., Telamite Ltd., The Aluminium Supply Company and Brown Brothers Ltd.
During this month Henry Boys will complete their move to a new factory in Pleck Road, Walsall, Staffs (to which all inquiries should now be addressed), this move having been dictated by a considerable increase in demand. The new factory incorporates a large research and development section.
The Oxford Street, Walsall, offices have been closed but the works and spares section will still continue there. The company's telephone number remains unchanged, being Walsall 21381/4.
To streamline their system of delivery of exhaust systems and silencers to 70 depots, Telamite have built a central warehouse at their brake lining factory at Bentham. Lanes, and have brought into service a fleet of articulated delivery vehicles. Coincident with this move they have produced a new Telamite silencer catalogue.
A new branch has been opened in Leicester by Brown Brothers to serve Leicestershire and Rutland and as well as stocks of components, maintenance equipment and paints and other finishing materials, a tyre service and fitting section has been incorporated. The address is 64 Mansfield Street and the telephone number is Leicester 21715.
Last week The Aluminium Supply Company moved to big new premises at Allum Way, Totteridge, London, N.20, where a 10,000-sq.-ft. warehouse carries large stocks of aluminium. The company, which is one of the British Aluminium stockists appointed last year, will operate eight lorries from this centre on delivery services in six southern counties. There is also a waiting area for 10 commercial vehicles.
Plans have already been made to extend the warehouse by another 50,000 sq. ft.
