Peter Brasshouse
1937 'Arnott and Harrison state that the acquisition of the share capital of Peter Brasshouse, Ltd., and of the freehold factories at Willesden and Birmingham has been completed and additional working capital provided by share issue has been received. Arrangements have been made for extension of factories.' [1]
1938 'A small company whose results are awaited with interest is Arnott and Harrison, whose chairman is Mr. F. W. Halliwell. This company took over as from 30 June last year the associated businesses of special tooling equipment manufacturers of Arnott and Harrison (1928) of London, and Peter Brasshouse of Birmingham. Combined profits for 1936-37, as estimated in the offer for sale last July, were equal to 16 1/2 per cent on the shares at their offered price of 5s. (they are still quoted at 5s. apiece). It is expected that the first accounts of the company in its present form which should be out in a few weeks will show profits.'[2]
