It was was my Great Grandfather’s company (Ernest Vaughan). My late uncle Jeremy worked for him as a young man. Jeremy good me Vino actually stands for Vaughan Only, No Others. He was a very successful man with many businesses, including Revo and Duport Steel.
My great grandfather was Ernest Vaughan. I have recently been researching his various businesses, such as Revo, Vono, Duport Steel etc and patents. Fascinating to read about it. A great shame I never met him or my grand father.
