Barber Electrical services Bournville

Hi all does anyone have any further info on the manufacturer of the lamp in the image ? What the factory was known as ,as nothing can be found for a company by the name of Barber . I'm thinking it may be for the Barber trade. The label is on an old heat lamp ,and it looks like the company who were in Bournville manufactured items for the medical industry
Thank you in advance

The 1955 Kellys lists Barber Electrical Services, health lamp manufacturers, at 6 Leach St . In 1950 they are at Beaumont Road, Bournville, listed as guage makers, but at the same place is listed Arthur Adam Barber, Electro-medical apparatus manufacturer. The building below would seem to be it in 2019
