Craftinwood Ltd.

[GEFF]

I worked for Craftinwood Ltd in the late 40s and early 50s. they were in Ashted Row but after the re-development of that area I lost touch with them. Did they go out of business, or did they go bankrupt. They were a very laid back firm to work for, and their work was excellent. Geff

In 1965 Kellys lists them in Fleet St in birmingham, but by 1967 they have gone, from Birmingham at least. On e bay , at https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sis.html...s&_itemId=201494435955&_trksid=p2047675.m4096 , at present there is for sale a collection of Craftinwood advertising

They seem to have gone out of business in 1966 - if I understand this notice properly, that is. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/46367/page/8766/data.pdf

My grandfather got his apprenticeship at Craftinwood in the late 30’s and was then enlisted into the army, but I know he returned back from war and he was a french polisher until he retired. His name was Bish , I don’t know whether you worked with him ?
