The original firm was called Colne Finishes Co Ltd, this in turn morphed into C. Lovibond Enamelling Ltd. Both these were (mainly) at Arlington Works in St Margarets (near Richmond). In the end I lost the premises and sold the goodwill and myself to Malcolm Bell Ltd in Hampton. Bikes were never a big part of the business - our main line was electronic front panels and boxes.
Most of the frames we did were resprays for the owners, but I did work for Ken Ryall, Bicyclecraft (Staines), Clive Bonavia, Dave Russell, Mike Mullett and Cliff Shrubb.
