1910 Born in Sheffield
He was a saw-making apprentice, where he met Thomas Flinn, another apprentice.
Frank was an ambitious apprentice. He took home extra saw sharpening work at night to earn extra money.
This hard work and dedication is how he was able to buy Thomas Flinn out of his own business in 1936.
Becoming a business owner just before World War Two began, would have brought many changes to how his business operated as with all factories in Sheffield. He moved production on to defence work and employed around 50 people at that time to make tin hats and other items required by the government.
His son, Frank Philip Ellis, joined the business on leaving school at 16.
